mrsmith Posted November 19, 2018 Share Posted November 19, 2018 I created an island with a slide in range, and the countertop has a molding on it- CA-29. This molding overlaps onto the stove. I converted the counter to a custom countertop, and I see an option to have "no molding on selected edge", but I can't figure out how to select an edge... Using version X10 on a Mac.

mrsmith Posted November 19, 2018 Author Share Posted November 19, 2018 I must be missing something simple. I tried selecting that edge and then checking the box for no molding on edge, but nothing changed. Tried it in both plan view and perspective overview. Any suggestions?

mrsmith Posted November 19, 2018 Author Share Posted November 19, 2018 Any thoughts on why I don't have that option when I right click? It also seems like I have 2 countertops, since a square-edged one is still there when if I delete the entire base cabinet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rlackore Posted November 19, 2018 Share Posted November 19, 2018 My guess is the square countertop is actually the custom one, and the one with the molding is auto-generated by the base cabinet. Remove the molding from the base cabinet definition, then assign the molding to the custom countertop and select whichever edges you don't want molding on.

parkwest Posted November 19, 2018 Share Posted November 19, 2018 Did you try turning off the countertop edges in the cabinet dbx after you added the custom countertop? Curious why you converted the countertop to a custom countertop in the first place??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know why the OP did it but one reason I use only custom countertops so that I can have a countertop drawing to send for quote. If I use just the standard counters they only show up when the base cabinet layer is also turned on. The other reason is it's simpler to control of overhangs.

parkwest Posted November 19, 2018 Share Posted November 19, 2018 Thanks Mark. When you use custom countertops, do you first turn off the cabinet tops to eliminate the conflict between the two as in this case? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you use custom countertops, do you first turn off the cabinet tops to eliminate the conflict between the two as in this case? Only sometimes- to do that you have to put them on a separate layer. Deleting the original counters from the cabinets requires far too much fooling around though prior to X10 I set my default cabinets to have no counters and adjusted the heights-then would have to change the setting for the counter so that it did not get thickness or height from the cabinets. When they made it so that dimensions would snap to the default counters I changed the cabinet defaults back to include the counters. I suppose there are things they could do to make it a tad easier, (default layer for custom tops, show tops when cabinets layer is off) but I don't find any of this a big deal. I'm happy that dimensions now snap to the counters Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
