Removing toe kick from vanity for knee space?

I'm trying to figure out how to remove the toe kick for just one section of a base cabinet. I have created a double vanity with an opening in the center for a knee space, but I can't remove the toe kick from that section. I've attached a picture of the elevation view, and the section of toe kick I'm trying to delete is below the green highlighted area.

 

I'm hoping for a solution that does not involve multiple separate base cabinets. I'm aware I can split this single cabinet into multiple units to achieve what I'm going for, but I'd like to do it and maintain the single unit if possible.

I suppose you can turn off the toe kick for the whole unit, reduce the unit height by 4", float it 4" above the floor and then build 4" separate bases (3D solids or cabinetry?).  Similar to some cabinet installations that I've seen where the base cabs do not have an integrated base.

Well Jim's idea is about the easiest. The alternative needs custom door symbols with a Y offset to use as toe kick but really why.

Charles yes many makers offer "combined" cabinets up to a certain size, or sometimes cabinets are built in the field with face frames made in the shop. I've done lots of combined ...

but in this case I would not do that. It looks as if the OP is using 3/4 inset and that looks to be 114" long. That is larger than most makers would do as a single cabinet, if they did the center section is going to be week. My installers would have a fit IF I could talk the maker into doing it. I would do a combined I have used a drawer with a recessed frame so as not to show. Then a panel for the back, determine how that panel gets attached with the installer.
