Shower Niche

[CustomKitchens]

I am trying to put a niche in my shower and am having no luck figuring out how to do it.  None of the training videos or tips on YouTube have showers with them either.  Any suggestions?

I just did a couple using a window opening.  For the back side to fill in, I used a material region.  I had tile on the layer facing into the shower and drywall on the layer facing into the opposite room on the back side of the wall.  You can set those layers to whatever materials thickness you need.  I sized the materials regions in a section  view.

 

Edit:  I just checked the plan I did and I used a "pass through" for the opening in the wall ... no casing, "0" sash dimensions ... adjusted the materials as needed.  It looks like the two layers I used show up as soffits.  I thought I had used a materials region.  You could fill the back side of the opening with PL solids ... whatever works for you.

Thanks - I tried using a window and couldn't figure out how to cover up the view to outside so I will try that.  My window also has a sill on it which I can't get to go away either.  Is there a difference between a window opening and window?

Here's a ray trace of one of the niches I created using a pass through opening and drywall and tile fillers in the opening's back side:

Awesome!  Thanks for clarifying and it worked for me now!
