Hi Rick,

Probably the simplest way to do this where you have all odd corners is to use the floor.

1.  Just draw a floor  'By Picking Points' and follow the shape of your wall and cupboards making it slightly wider at the front for the overhang.

2.  Set it to the thickness you want.

3.  Right click Elevate to the height you want (which is the height of the cupboard less plus the thinkness of the existing counter top.

4.  Turn off the existing counter tops.

5.  Curve any corners of the 'floor' as required.

6.  Select the floor and right click 'Cut Opening' around the sinks.

Oh' just had a thought - can you do 'Floor by Picking Points' in V12? and Can you cut an Opening in the floor? - can't remember.  If not let me know and I will give you some other ways to try it.

That is Brilliant!
yes i sunk the floor so i imagine i can do this.
i used to be able to do this with concrete or something - but i could not elevate it when i tried.
and how do i make a triangular cabinet! or at least a cabinet front.
thanks Allan

All you have to do is use an ordinary cabinet and set the width so that it fits the gap at the front. You will have to turn Collision off to be able to position it of course.
