clbpdx Posted November 23, 2019 Share Posted November 23, 2019 I changed thickness of a countertop from 1-1/2" (default) down to 3/4", and now undermount sinks appear to be floating 3/4" below the bottom of the countertop. Thinking this was just a regen bug, I tried building a new cabinet and changing countertop thickness to 3/4" BEFORE placing an undermount sink, but alas I get the same result. Are all undermount sinks placed 1-1/2" below countertop surface, regardless of the countertop thickness? The air-gap in 3D views is unsightly, and I'm wondering if there's a way to fix this...

Rookie65 Posted November 23, 2019 Share Posted November 23, 2019 if you change the height of the countertop, then you need to change the height of the sink. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clbpdx Posted November 24, 2019 Author Share Posted November 24, 2019 I didn't change the height of the countertop - I changed its thickness. Regardless, I'd like to try changing sink height, but am not able to find where that parameter gets entered. There does not seem to be a control for sink height when I open the base cabinet, and the sink does not seem to have any controls of its own when dropped into a cabinet. I suppose I could drop it into the plan as a freestanding object, and then copy it over the existing sink opening above the sink that's too low, but that's not so elegant ;-) What am I missing?

Rookie65 Posted November 24, 2019 Share Posted November 24, 2019 When you find the item you want, look at its default settings. My thought is if you open the item, then raise the height 3/4" of an inch to make up for the thinner counter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
solver Posted November 24, 2019 Share Posted November 24, 2019 Place the sink away from the cabinet to start. Now move it (drag, center tool etc) into place on the countertop. The sink is now a fixture you can select. Open it and change its height -- raise it 3/4". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clbpdx Posted November 25, 2019 Author Share Posted November 25, 2019 Thanks Eric! I guess I wasn't missing something then, and was on the right track then with my remark about dropping it in as a freestanding object first. This seems like a non-intuitive brute force way to get the job done though. Consider the user experience -- all I did was change my countertop thickness and suddenly there's a huge air gap, and the only way to fix it is to delete the sink that I carefully did size, placement and materials for, and drop in a new one and redo. Like I say, not so elegant and they should fix it. Now onto my next challenge -- how to make a cabinet tube light *NOT* follow the cathedral vault slope when placed under a wall cabinet...
