Those are "Camera Callouts" and the size is controlled by the text size. You need to look at your Defaults for "Camera" to set up so that they are automatically smaller - or you can just "Right Click" and "Open" to get at the settings for any specific camera. The Text Style that's probably controlling would be "Camera Label Style" Another way to get at the setting is to open the Object Settings and edit the Text Style.

Todd, Most of that can be controlled by the Layerset Line Weight Column. You just have to determine which Layer. For some specific cases I just do a CAD Line and set the Weight.

Joe, I use Circles for Doors, Hexagons for Windows, Octagons for Cabinets and Squares for Appliances.

I agree that "Luxury" Bath wasn't in the rules. I just thought that everyone here would only do "Luxury". Faucets that way are a stretch but maybe. Still IMO to boxy. As far as me cheating - no, I specifically excluded all the Doors, Windows, Plumbing Fixtures, Faucets, Towels and Light Fixtures in my design. I still had 17 distinct items and didn't include any toiletries.

Todd, What do you mean by "Wall Elevation Symbol"?

Curt, OK, I get Kay's Light Fixtures but I'm not sure I'd want to put those in a Luxury Bath. OTOH, I don't see how any of the Faucets could be done with just a single Cabinet. Maybe Kay could explain that IAE, the purpose of this challenge was to point out the diversity of a single Chief Tool and I think the point has been made. IMO the Base Cabinet Tool is extremely versatile. BTW, John Jones still hasn't put forth any solutions. He indicated he was up to 1000 and was getting bored.

Here's my version of Kay's Console Sink

Curt, I can't give Kay credit for the Tub Spout, Faucets, TP Holder or the Light Fixtures since they are assembled (just blocks put together) rather than being distinct units. I also discount the Door and Window since they are just surface mounted representations. I also have a bit of a problem with some of her items on the Lav Cabinet because I have no idea what they are - other than random toiletry objects. The Fiberglass Shower Stall, Pedestal Sink, Toilet and Trash can were Objects I hadn't thought of myself and I think they could have been a bit more realistic but the idea was great.

Bow Front with the back set to "Match Front" might work. I haven't tried that one.

Open the Components dbx for each window and edit the comments field there.

See Post 27. Since nobody else totally followed the rules ......... It's either me or Kay - your pick.

The Cabinet needs to be very small with a half-round Edge Molding on the Countertop. In this case I used a 6" Tall Edge Molding and a 3" corner radius on the top itself.

Michael, You are correct, a spherical shape can be made using the Base Cabinet Tool.

The attached pics show a Master Bath with the following items: 1. 2 Wall Hung Sink Cabinets 2. Dressing/Makeup Counter 3. 2 Small Towel Bars & 1 Large Towel Bar 4. 1 Bench 5. 3 Framed Mirrors 6. Beaded Wainscot 7. Tub Deck and Surround (Granite Deck with Tile Facing) 8. Shower Floor (pebbled tile surface) 9. Shower Curb (Granite) 10. Vertical Shower Edge (Granite) 11. Tile Shower Wall Surface 12. Corner Shower Seat (Granite Top with Tile Facing) 13. 2 Corner Soap Dishes in Shower 14. Flat Screen TV above Tub 15. Glass Shelving for Towels, etc. 16. Rug 17. Glass Shower Panel All of the above items were created using the BASE CABINET TOOL. That's 17 distinct items - all of which are easily recognizable as what they are supposed to be. Each object is a single Cabinet. The Walls, Floor, Doors, Windows, Towels, Plumbing Fixtures & Lighting Fixtures were created using the appropriate Chief Tools or copied from the Library. While Kay had the right tool, I had to discount some of her items because they didn't approach the level of detail required to make them fully recognizable and several of her objects were assembled, not individual cabinets. Still, a very good job and I would have credited the Toilet and the Console Sink if they had been more realistic - which is possible.

Use the Multiple Copy Tool

I was curious to see what would happen if I skipped my Cisco Linksys EA2700 wireless router and plugged directly into the COX Cable Modem. I was surprised to find there was NO difference. Then I realized that my connection to the router is a direct ethernet cable connection. I'm only using the wireless router as a connection to my printer - the Internet is strictly a direct connection to the COX Modem so that's the limiting factor. BTW, for you guys that are using HughesNet. I tried that at Big Bear Lake and was immensely disappointed. So I got a Verizon MiFi 4G unit and use it whenever I travel. It's not as good as a Cable Modem but it's so much better than Satellite that it's not funny. If you have cell phone service - even 3G, the Internet speeds are quite good.

I'm using a wireless network with a COX Cable Modem. My Download speed using Mozilla Firefox is 31.97 mps and my Upload speed is 6.96. I also tried it using Google Chrome (30.66 and 6.53). IE is about the same as Chrome.

At last we'll be able to create custom bath vanity units. Now Scott, what else can we expect?

Joe, Post the Plan - then someone will figure it out in a hurry.

Scott, You must have seen my Brother-in-Law. He's only 4 months older than I am but looks at least 20 years older. BTW, I was thinking about the County's not requiring us to upgrade T-24, Non-conforming Railings and lack of Fire Sprinklers during the rebuild/repair after the fire last December. OTOH, they insisted on conforming to the 2003 code upgrades for "Fire Blocking" and "Draft Stops" - and then wanted "Mechanical Heat" - not just "Ventilation" in all the downstairs Bath - but say that everything else is "Grandfathered" Selective Code Enforcement ? How does that make any sense? IAE, I hope they don't decide later that we have to do those upgrades. That would cost a fortune to do later.

Dwight, Here's a better choice. Use a Railing Wall (Post to Rail, Height 96", 2x2 Newels @ 48" o.c., 2x2 top rail and 2x2 bottom rail) Edit the Room Structure to no floor finish and no floor structure. I'd make the "sloped floor" using a Roof Plane and just frame the roof.

So it appears that you want something like the pic below. I did this with a wall type that had 2x2 metal framing members @ 48". o.c. and 2x2 top and bottom plates (only 1 top plate). What is showing is the wall framing. You can have a skin layer in the wall (perhaps glass or ...) I had to delete a couple of "studs" at the corners and you might want to adjust some of the locations.

Great answer! I forgot about that - even though I use that feature to place multiple appliances in Tall Cabinets.

You could designate one as a Drawer. The Hardware would require a bit of work and the Door Opening Indicator would be missing but otherwise.....

Kay, That's an interesting set of items. I can't figure out what some of them are from the picture. I might also question their use in a luxury bath in that some of them appear to be just boxes or a combination thereof. I can see that it would be possible to create these items with the cabinet tool but they have to be identified as to use - and preferably easily recognizable as a bath component, not as a random accessory.
