warrenwest Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 Been a rough day at the computer Is there a way to join 2 niches in a corner? I end up with a separation but I don't want that. I want a seamless moss niche. Is it even possible with this tool? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe_Carrick Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 No, but you can build the walls out thicker with material regions of drywall and make the basic wall surface moss. You just have to approach the problem from the opposite direction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe_Carrick Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 You could actually use 2 WMR's 3" thick drywall for buildout 1/4" Moss for back of "Niche" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe_Carrick Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 Here's an example of what I'm talking about. It also shows that you can get a mirror to reflect off of another mirror - just to show that the statement in another thread wasn't correct. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry Joe ,mirrors don't reflect off each other unless you use a different material like Graham did.been that way forever. I don't see where you proved it.

Joe_Carrick Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 Perry, Both of the mirrors in the corner are the stock material "mirror" from the core library applied to material regions. Try it for yourself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheKitchenAbode Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 Here the front cabinet and the other cabinet have their panels set to the standard library mirror material. The mirrored panels in the reflected cabinet just shows as a solid grey. The second pic has the other cabinets panel set to polished chrome, now it shows a reflection, looks more like a mirror.

TheKitchenAbode Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 Here are two library mirrors in a corner. First one both use the standard library mirror material. Second one I changed the material on the right mirror to polished chrome. The reflection is not 100% correct but better than just a grey square.

DRAWZILLA Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 ok , Graham, that's great but I don't use lib. mirrors with a frame, I use a p-solid with the mirror material on almost every mirror I do.. That's how we do it here most of the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheKitchenAbode Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 Seems to be working. There are three different materials here. The bottom one is a p-solid, middle is a cabinet partition and the top is a slab door. The material on the left side is mirror and the material on the right is polished chrome.

dshall Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 This will blow you away...... whether the mirror material works or not depends on the thickness of the slab, psolid, countertop etc..... play around with different thicknesses, you will find somewhere around 8"-14" thick the reflective material will disappear.

That's Crazy!!! I just tried it and yes, seems to only happen if the material is mirror. Maybe it's because you can't by a mirror that thick???

That's nuts, I can't put an 8" thick mirrors on any plan. Thanks for checking that out ,I was about to quit drawing forever, but I decided to write bad check's instead 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DRAWZILLA Posted July 15, 2018 Share Posted July 15, 2018 turned it in as a bug ,and they basically told me that a thin mirror doesn't work so I have to use a lib. mirror with a frame, that is one of those things that should have been fixed a long time ago. 90% of all mirrors have no frame.
