Mackenzie Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 Hello, I've been struggling to recreate this vanity and have solved most of my issues but am stuck on the lower portion. My biggest issue is recreating the open back and side brass supports for the bottom of the vanity. I tried removing the toe kick then splitting the bottom open portion horizontally but then I run into issue with opening the sides and back as well as getting the brass finish applied without too much of the vanity also converting to brass. Here is a photo of where I'm at along with what I'm trying to match. thank you for your time helping me learn this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneDavis Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 Those legs and struts look like about 1" square in profile. Try creating a 1 x 1 post saved to your user library as millwork and then selecting it as legs for your base cabinet. Set the toekick height at something like 16". Then use slabs and solids to do the strut surround at the base, and up under the cab. The slab is your bottom shelf. Doing the button feet below the metal frame legs and struts takes more creativity. Make another post leg as a solid, do it at 1 x 1 and make it 15 1/2" tall. Make a 1/2" dia. round button 1/2" tall solid placed centered under the square leg, tight to its bottom, then join the two as one solid. Convert to a symbol and add a stretch plane maybe 8" up from bottom. Now use your symbol as your cabinet legs. The attached pic shows a start. To add the strut array near the floor, and under the cabinet, use solids or slabs. Make the shelf using a slab. If your legs and struts don't seem to look right, adjust size up or down. For the legs, you'll need to start over, since you cannot edit the symbol's profile. That thick cast top with the integral sinks will be a challenge. You might try modifying an undermount sink symbol's bounding box so it places the sink with its top surface (the surround flange) co-planar with the countertop, and then make the material for the two, c'top and sink, the same. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DBCooper Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 I would just create the bottom frame and shelf using other tools, such as poly solids or maybe even soffits/shelves, and then either block them or convert them into a symbol. Then I would just have the vanity cabinet sit on top of it, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeneDavis Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 @Renerabbitthow bout showing us all how you did it, and it needs to have the under-box tube frame, plus the look of sinks that are integrally cast with the countertop or maybe @scottharriscan do a video or both of you do vids "master class for cabinets" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoeGia Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 That frame along the floor is pretty but not practical. Your toes will be banging into it every time you use the sink, and it'll be a nightmare to clean under there. Not a vanity I would want. That's not answering the question, but just my two cents.

MarkMc Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 Yes doing as a single cabinet is a bear but possible. IF I really needed this I would more likely do the bottom frame as one part and the top as another since that would be how I was ordering it. And you can put two sinks in if you float them. Plan with parts attached. This may or may not need sinks made from the same material as the counter. When needed I do that as a separate symbol made from solids.

MarkMc Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 Another approach is to make the metal frame as a symbol, perhaps from solids as Gene suggests, mess with the origins and lock the size. Then insert it into the bottom center drawer. That allows easier changes to the cabinet which likely also require adjusting the frame symbol.

robdyck Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 Depending on ones purposes there are multiple ways to skin this cat; I used 6 cabinets to model it in just about 5 minutes (not bragging). 2 cabinets for the sinks, 3 cabinets for the...cabinets and 1 for the base. I did use a saved vanity which already had the right type of sink. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could do it in one cabinet if teatime or Ryan would share the trick to get 2 sinks in one cabinet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An Arch Block is not two sinks in one cab. BTW You can do this with a single cabinet and it only requires 1 custom door Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To my knowledge a single cabinet cannot have two top/appliance fixtures...I know how to place two freestanding sink fixtures in the same model space as a cabinet and have them appear to be owned by that cabinet, or I know how to block a set of cabinets that both own a sink and thus appear in the preview window of a dbx when an arch block is opened, but I do not know how to open a cabinet and find that there are two sinks in the cabinet dbx.

DBCooper Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 Seems like a lot of silliness to me. If you want more than one sink, just place them free floating in the plan and drag them on top of the cabinet. Done. *eyes rolling back into the top of my head so far I think they might be stuck now* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DBCooper Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 As far as I can tell, free floating sinks work fine in auto or custom counters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mackenzie Posted February 9 Author Share Posted February 9 Thank you all so much for all the help and examples, I'm going to go over this all more carefully later and expect I'll be able to learn even more than I expected when asking the question!
