Using a Tub Like a Sink

Hi all,

I was wondering if a 3D object of a large circular tub could be used in place of a sink within a cabinet. The tub that I am referring to is the Kohler RiverBath:

I have tried numerous ways to get the bath to sit right but to no avail. I think the best solution would be to use this object like a sink in that I would click the tub into the cabinet and the countertop would be cut around it. In real life, it looks like this:

Is this possible? I am running Home Designer Architectural 2015 on a Mac with OSX 10.10.

Thanks!

Here I've shaped a custom counter top to go around the tub. Not sure what tools your version has -- you might use a Slab too.

This is really 2 custom counter tops, because that was the simplest. There is no tool to cut a hole, so you could make a U shaped one, then Copy Reflect About to get the closed shape.

 

What you want to do is not doable in the Home Designer products, but is in Chief.

Thank you everyone SO much for the speedy response and excellent information!!!

Once I get back from vacation I will definitely try these ideas out and post back the results.

I had tried the custom countertop idea but didn't realize there were so many things I could do with it.
