beckyz Posted May 23, 2014 Share Posted May 23, 2014 Can anyone help? I need the backsplash to extend above the stove, I don't have an option to do that when I double click on the stove, and the material painter paints the whole wall. Help please!

dshall Posted May 23, 2014 Share Posted May 23, 2014 If you are on X6, try the custom backsplash tool, a pretty neat tool, I deal with my backslashes with moldings, but this might be a better option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcaffee Posted May 23, 2014 Share Posted May 23, 2014 For the Home Designer series (Other than Pro), try using a primitive box shape or slab. Also, you should get better answers for Home Designer on the HomeTalk forum. http://hometalk.homedesignersoftware.com/ jon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kbird1 Posted May 23, 2014 Share Posted May 23, 2014 Use the cabinet soffit tool and make the material in the DBX your tile choice and thickness etc , you'll need to play around with it in 3d/2d views to position it against the wall, leaving it 1" thick at 1st may make it easier to position then set the final thickness when in place.

Kenoeightspot Posted May 23, 2014 Share Posted May 23, 2014 In X6 use the custom back splash tool then use the handles to adjust as needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kbird1 Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 They have HD Interiors 2015 , not sure it has that tool ,using the cabinet soffit works well though. M. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abqjim Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 Hi, Create a cross section, draw a polyline box, convert it to a solid at 1/2", apply a material to it. Should work. I am also working in X6, but this has worked for a long while in Chief. Might work for you in HD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lbuttery Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 HD products don't have polyline solids Lew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kbird1 Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 Pro has Polylines and you can convert to slab/countertops etc , not sure about interiors , so a soffit with a tile material assigned works well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dshall Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 Nuts, try using moldings for your backslashes, easy peasy, and then you can even wrap them around quite easily without having to create a separate psolid. All my back splashes are pmoldings, I may have to revisit that technique with the new BACKSPLASH TOOL, but when I think about it, the pmoldings are simpler to manipulate in most cases.

That's a "G" rating in my book....... anyway..... I will make more of an effort to clean it up for your Grandson....... but then of course you could use me as an example for your grandson on how not to behave....... there you go..... turn a negative into a positive........ thank you, thank you very much.

dshall Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 Hey Ron, you want him to learn, you want him to watch different videos by whoever........ I remember when me and my buddies were twelve years old, there was less resistance on our part if the information we were studying was a little racy.

Kbird1 Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 The soffit tool worked great - thank you!!! I was messing with a soffit to do this when I realised for this kitchen there is a simpler way, so thought I'd post for any future searcher that if you have a cooktop ,rather than a slide in Range like the OP , just make the Backsplash for the base cabinet 60" high instead of 18" (common default) and it will go upto the 96" ceiling...make it higher if you have higher ceilings....this assumes a standard counter at 36", if need be, do the same for the cabinet either side of the cooktop cabinet as I did too(see image) , to fill in extra space , any extra tile is hidden behind the upper wall cabinets. With no base cabinet I think the Soffit Tool is the easy Solution unless you have X6 of course with custom backsplashes. someone may followup on this: If you have a wall cabinet above your hood ,but still have the slide in Range ,does trying the checkbox for "build backsplash down to Base cabinet" , in the Wall cabinets DBX, build it down to 36" counter height or not? , not sure it works if there is no base cabinet?
