To create an opening in a work-top ?
Hello, smile

I go proposed 25 models of work-top without openings for kitchen sinks.
Is it possible to create these openings afterward ?

Or is it necessary that I to create 25 plans of work in more with openings ?

Thank you for your help.

Cordially

David,

In SH3D you can't add holes in worktops.
So, you would have to create separate worktops with holes in a 3D modelling program.
To make live a bit easier, maybe you could make your worktops modular, creating sections of worktop for different sizes of sinks and stoves.

That you want to say by modular work-top ?

Re: To create an opening in a work-top ?
Examples:
End piece straight and rounded
Middle piece, one size can be stretched to any size
Sink piece, for sinks in various sizes
Corner piece

You then use several pieces (modules) to make your worktop.

Just re-installing a worktop with sink today (broken washing machine sad). I will use a round Ø 45 cm sink, mounted in the very corner of the work-top.

So I agree, the solution is good, but suspect
1) many users would find it difficult to combine the pieces of the model (?).
2) and it would not fit special needs (like mine).

I guess that is why the 3D models: sink are all ready assembled. And that works if you can be bothered to put together at least the most common combinations.

ok

Re: To create an opening in a work-top ?
I understands but I wish to propose 25 models of work-top with 10 kitchen sinks in choices.
Who makes 25 x 10 = 250 possible combinations.
Maybe that I too much want to make it ?
To facilitate the use of my products, I am going to make a video of demonstration or I realize a kitchen from A to Z.
Thank you for your recommendations.

The image below, presents a kitchen sink in 2D and an other one in 3D:
What solution to choose knowing that the 2D kitchen sink is much easier to use?

Thank you for expressing your opinion.

I vote for 3D but you can try to make it show bather in 2D (top view).

Re: To create an opening in a work-top ?
2D sinks are so nice when Normal mapping is possible.Because it is smooth and fast for rendering. But Normal maps are not works in SH3D now. sad
I wish,divide kitchen worktop in a way that each wall consist each part that the user can adjust according the room size. And let the user can add sink slab with his choice.
Feels if I don't understand this thread then plz ignore this comment. d oh

Re: To create an opening in a work-top ?
Very nice work, and I think your 2D compromise is a good idea, but admit I think the 3D models look a lot nicer and more in line with the quality of your models.

..25 x 10 = 250 possible combinations.... - clearly not sustainable...

For my own use, I add the sink to the worktop when I make the model - but then I only consider a few sinks and only use the 60cm modules and 3cm worktop. Even if you can add texture later, it would make for too many combinations.

I also once tried using a separate level for the worktop (room = worktop where floor thickness = worktop thickness). And while that let me use the staircase SVG cutout for the sink so I could move it on the worktop, the solution was a bit awkward (and could not be integrated in a furniture library).

So I guess the solution proposed by Hansmex is the most appealing.

ok

PS You should also note that there once were slight differences in the models sold in the different countries, but I think kitchen models are now all uniform with the most recent modular system.

Re: To create an opening in a work-top ?
I have many different notices I am thus going to propose kitchen sinks in 2 versions in " 2D and 3D ".
The user will have the choice and will use the version which suits him best.
Thank you for your advice.
