hollister design Studio Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 I'm interested in what people do when designing outdoor kitchens in Landmark. When I had the trial designer version I thought I just dropped a sink on a countertop and it cut itself in - but in Landmark I'm not seeing anything like that. And my google-fu seems to be lacking when it come to finding ANY tutorials on how to cut a sink into a countertop. Anyone have a good workflow for sinks and countertops? Quote Link to comment
michaelk Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 I use floor objects for countertops. That way there isn't a line in plan view at every base cabinet and you can have custom shapes for peninsulas and islands. Just draw a shape and clip the floor object. Quote Link to comment
hollister design Studio Posted February 24 Author Share Posted February 24 @michaelk OK, so no door or window like inserting. And no auto updating if I move, scale, or replace the sink symbol? I'm fine with that, I just want to use VW to the fullest extent that work with my workflow! Quote Link to comment
michaelk Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 No, it's a totally manual process. But I'm not aware that the native countertop ever did it either. 1 Quote Link to comment
Vectorworks, Inc Employee bgoff Posted February 24 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted February 24 @hollister design Studio use standard 2D poly to shape the countertop. use any shape to create the hole or holes. Extrude shape. This allows for easy manipulation of original geometry and addition or subtraction of any shape to the countertop. As a note I then create auto hybrid. and create a symbol. Just my workflow. Quote Link to comment
Vectorworks, Inc Employee bgoff Posted February 24 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted February 24 Also I am not a fan of using floors for countertops. Why??? Because do you like preparing food on the floor?? 🙂 Quote Link to comment

Vectorworks, Inc Employee bgoff Posted February 24 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted February 24 @michaelk I guess yes I do it every day! I also prepare food in ice counters (you know how the frozen tundra works!!! ) 🙂 @hollister design Studio figured you would like that! Quote Link to comment

michaelk Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 @bgoff What if you're making homemade pasta and homemade sausage? Just extrudes on an extrude? Extrudes all the way down? 1 Quote Link to comment
