HOW DO I CREATE A NON STD PLUMBING DRAWER FOR MY FLOATING VANITY?

[Atelier]

Hello,

 I am new to CA, coming from 2020 & Prokitchen. I am designing a 2 drawer floating vanity and would like a non std plumbing drawer on top drawer & std drawer on bottom. I am trying to use the polyline however I can't seem to make it look like a drawer instead of a block? can someone please help me, I have to show the clients tomorrow.

In order to create the drawer box, you probably won't be able to use just one polyline.  You could start with one for the outside shape, create another one for the inside shape, and use the subtraction tools to remove the inside area.  You will also need a bottom but you may be able to use the inside shape to create that. There are lots of ways to create this box though and this is just one way.  Another way that might be good would be to use a molding polyline but you would still need a separate polyline for the bottom.

 

Once you have the basic drawer box, you will need to convert it into a symbol object so that you can use it in the cabinet.

Easiest method is to use a countertop with molding (baseboard) for sides. Plan attached (in X16 since you didn't say)  for you to work with. Once you have it sized how you want it convert to a symbol  (on right in plan), then use that symbol for drawer where needed.
