    Sink Cut-outs (Hole in Countertops) in X13

    The symbol does cut the hole, but it's taking the sides with it.  It does not happen with Kohler catalogs - only custom symbols I bring in or convert from Kohler.  Maybe it's time to nudge tech support on this fix!

     

    In my video I use a modified Kohler symbol...and I don't have this issue. I've opened and closed the plan and created new camera views...no problem. Weird.

    So the problem is that the symbol is not cutting a hole in the custom countertop...or, it does, but when you open the plan at a later date the "gap" returns?

     

    I've tested this on my MAC...I've saved the file, opened and closed and created different renders and the sink is always in the correct position...no gap. I wonder if it's a video card issue?

     

    Or...am I not understanding the real problem....admittedly I'm not sure if I do.

    There isn't an "auto" solution really...busy work.

     

    I attempted to use a transom window, changed the glass material to color-white and moved the window more toward the exterior of the window. This looks ok from the exterior...but of course you'll have a transom window on the interior...which I'm sure you don't want.

    The New Mono Slab to Existing Raised Floor challenge

    Scott - you are correct, when rebuilding the framing the plate does disappear...of course it's easy enough to manually place a plate there...but, yea, because it's a pony wall the plate actually wants to build on the top of the wall...so, my "open no material" idea works somewhat...but ultimately it's only an illusion.

     

    One thing that is important to notice....when I changed the foundation wall to an 8" conc. stem wall...the foundation fixed itself. The monoslab abutting the foundation doesn't seem to have anything to do with the weird behavior of the 6" conc. stem wall extending through the floor framing.

    Like Steve said, the gable sub fascia is part of the problem, but I need it to be the same as it will be built

     

    Chris - where do you get a 6 3/8" Sub Fascia?

     

    Why can't you just construct the roof with a 5.5" Sub Fascia...and adjust the size of the fascia board to limit the offset between the soffit and the bottom of the fasica? Seems to me this provides a similar result...and it eliminates the issue with the porch beam. 

     

    Just FYI. I just opened the X13 Residential Template. And constructed your plan with auto rebuild roofs turned on. The software placed the baseline directly over the main layer of the porch wall (Interior-4) as it was supposed to with "automatic birdsmouth" checked.  When I unchecked this box...the baseline moved inward...but it didn't seem to move the roof plane. :blink:

    Yes - but in my video I used auto build roofs and the baseline was never placed in the wall center.  


    The baseline is a line that extends from the exterior surface of the main layer to the top surface of the rafter…so why would Chief move the baseline inward towards the wall center? Weird behavior for sure.  And - changing the room type would correct the beam elevation.  Weird
