Can Not Fill In Shower Niches

[Razorback1]

I have drawn a simple bathroom and added 2 niches, but can not get them to fill in for a solid back.

What am I doing wrong ? I have attached the plan for reviews.

 

I researched it in the reference manual, and it describes to select build, primitive, solid polyline, But this does not work. 

Any suggestions ?

 

Thanks,

Dale

Dale,

 

See this thread https://chieftalk.chiefarchitect.com/index.php?/topic/4413-wall-niches-library-revised/?hl=niche

for some symbols that work.  You can change the materials to suit your needs.

Joe Thank you, great download. The niche with out frame is exactly what I  was looking for. 

One question, Can I place the niche after I have tile material on wet wall, Or do I need to place it prior to placing wall material ?

Dale,

 

Place the wall material first.  The symbols are designed to cut the wall material.

Joe,

one thing I have noticed is in 3D view the niche extends about 1/2 inch off the wall surface, and does not fit flush to the wall. ?

Am I missing a step when placing the niche.

Dale,

 

Do you have a "Wall Material Region"?  That could be the cause - but I'm not sure.  IAE, you can open the Symbol dbx and adjust the 3D y-origin 1/2".  I'm not sure if it should be + or - but that will move it relative to the wall face.
