Niche in pony wall

[Charles]

I am trying to insert a niche in a shower pony wall, but the program changes the size from 3" deep to 5'16" and seems to reverse the symbol.

Anyone else experience this?

Wasn't that a bug with an earlier version of X10?

Just got off the phone w/ Chief and it is a bug.

The solution is old school until it gets resolved..... use a pass-thru with a polyline solid for the back.

Thanks,

Here's Eric's solution using a cabinet turned into interior fixture, inserts into wall. EZ but X10 only.

Good idea Mark, but how do you turn a cabinet into an interior fixture?

[MarkMc]

Place in blank plan

 adjust face, shelves etc. 

3D perspective, convert to symbol, select type (interior fixture),  check advanced options. Name it, adjust origin, options, materials  and stretch planes zones as needed. 

In this case I made it 3-3/4" deep and set the stretch plane to something larger like 10. That prevents the depth from changing.

This seems to still be happening in X12, does anyone know if it was fixed and I am just doing it incorrectly? Or is the bug still alive?

Thanks Eric, would you mind giving me a pointer or two on how you made it happen?

I recently created one for a shower I was designing. I used a wall elevation camera to place the niche in the lower pony wall

Thanks David, that worked. I appreciate your input.
