Title: Elevating a bath
Post by: the cad man on October 09, 2014, 07:30:51 PM
Hi everyone,

Recently started a project where the client wants a raised bath.
In my version 16 I had no problem dropping in a bath in the middle of the room, right clicking on it, and elevating it to the correct height,then adding "floors" at the correct thickness and height either end (pictured below).

However, in the new trial version of 2015, I can't manage to get the bath to sit in the middle of the room (software keeps trying to attach it to a wall) and I am unable to see where or how to raise it up off the floor.  I'm sure it's an easy step but with this new software I'm as lost as a newbie!

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Gaz,

I am a little lost in translation  :) : I am assuming that you mean a bathtub, right?
In TFP 2015 there are different types of elements
- If you go to the Plumbing tab => click on the bathtub icon Outlined in red in the image) => in this case the bathtub will be a Component => so it will be attached to the wall (follow the red arrow). The components (all of them) have special properties regarding elevation, behavior, etc
- If you go to the Furnishing library => Bath => Bathtubs => you will find the same bathtubs, but they are Objects, like a chair for example. This means that you can choose a bathtub from the library (outlined in blue in the image attached) => drag and drop in the middle of the plan (or in 3D if you prefer) => follow the blue arrow
The elevation will be set automatically according with the floor, but if you wish to elevate it => adjust the elevation using the elevation bar (outlined in green in the image attached) => don't forget to press Enter after the change in the elevation.
You can add "floor" with the Floor tool (Floor tab)

Thank you Trish, I knew you'd have a simple answer for me...and yes down here a bath and a bathtub are the same thing  :)
