Delain Posted April 3, 2018 Share Posted April 3, 2018 I've searched through the forum for ideas on how to create a bathroom shower that is curbless(?) with about a 3" drop from the main bathroom floor but not finding enough to figure this out. Can you point me to a tutorial that offers a similar solution perhaps? This was one suggestion to another user's closely-related topic, in an old post, but with no explanation: "Have you tried just lowering the floor of the shower space?" I've tried to determine how to do that, but since I don't have a full grasp of how foundations are constructed in HD Pro and since some of the Structure settings in the room dialog are grayed out, I don't know how to simply lower the portion dedicated to the shower. Suggestions? (I tried three times to remove/replace the inserted images, but the post editor acts like it cannot forget the images when I tried to replace them.) Thank you, Delain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
solver Posted April 3, 2018 Share Posted April 3, 2018 The shower needs to be a room. Enter -3" in the Floor field. You may need to delete your foundation first, then rebuild with the change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delain Posted April 4, 2018 Author Share Posted April 4, 2018 That's part of what is preventing me experimenting on my own with the exact suggestion you make with -3". How can I input -3" in the Floor field when it is grayed out? In the screenshot I sent, it is disabled due to the current settings. What needs to change so that field becomes available?

Delain Posted April 4, 2018 Author Share Posted April 4, 2018 So, David, is that what you did; made the shower a "room" and modified the Structure settings so its Floor height would be a short distance lower than the main bathroom floor?

Jo_Ann Posted April 4, 2018 Share Posted April 4, 2018 If you have made the shower enclosure into a 'room', then open the shower 'room' dialog box, and set the stem wall top (C) to -3". Sheesh! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't remember and do not care since I am not a state licensed Structural Engineer; the only persons who can legally design foundations. What Chief and HD do is purely conceptual.
