Title: Corner Sinks
Post by: Dean on February 20, 2021, 04:11:17 PM
Are there any Corner sinks for Angled corner base cabinets?
i don't seem to have any in the Plumbing > Kitchen Sink catalog.
I have a total of 22 kitchen sinks and none of them are corner sinks and they don't rotate because they are glued to the walls.
Thanks

In FP, there are several options to insert the elements. Depending of the method used, the program will set the properties and behavior.
If you insert a sink using the Sink Tool (Plumbing tab), the sink will be a component and yes, as almost all the components,  it will be attached to the wall.
But if you go to the Furnishing library => Sinks subcategory, and you drag a drop one of these sinks on the cabinet (developed with the cabinet tool), it will be an object, therefore it won't be attached and you will be able to move or rotate it.
See attached.

Hope this helps.

Thanks Patricia, that is good to know  :)
Is there a way to have a genuine corner sink, a custom object either drawn in CWPro or other format and it cutouts through the counter top?
Also, sometimes the angled base cabinet has a dummy draw under the sink. The only way I see of doing this is to use an angled base cabinet found in your collection then modify it in CWPro, is this correct? Which leads me to another question,  :) aside from drawing it is there a way to change your door and draw style?
Thanks  :)

For all the questions above, the only option is to edit the cabinets or develop new ones using CWPro or 3DCW Power Tools.

If you are interested, my eBooks for the TFP programs (https://www.punchhelpers.com/turbofloorplan-win.html) includes tutorials about this subject and a chapter for each Power Tool.

Or if you prefer, next week I will be releasing a new collection called "Cabinet Collection" with dozens of cabinets, parts, sets, islands, etc. It includes corner cabinets, lazy susan, etc.

Coming Soon...

These cabinets don't need to be attached to a wall and can be inserted into any project! :)
