Lots of fireplaces...but no bath/shower....???

Anonymous — Thu, 13 Jul 2006 15:33:16 GMT

Hi

Just getting to grips with AC. Tried putting a bath in the bathroom only to find that there wasn't one with the standard library...no shower either...

Am I missing something? There seems to be lots of other stuff that you wouldn't expect...like kettles and teacups.

Any advice would be welcome

Cheers

Nicholas

And you can also download Villeroy's library from the gdl object depository.

Try using the "Find Library Part" feature in object settings dialogue (top left pull down, probably says "folder view" as default).
"Mechanical" is not the first place I would have looked for plumbing fixtures, but there it is.

I know what you mean. Mechanical is NOT the first place.

One usually looks for personal facilities in the USA library under "Organic."

This is where they put the composting toilet and the grey water recycler.

According to the new CSI standard they (quite appropriately) belong in the "22 Plumbing" folder. For more info the new MasterFormat list is available here.

Considering the number of bribes and other cheats on job sites, I am not surprised to see the specification list "CSI" being a Crime Scene.

I did not use US library - but the INT one is in some parts completly illogical... the bathroom equipment for the starter 😉

If You have chance see how the German library is organised - I do not say it is perfect (for me) but it is way better...

Best Regards,

Thats okay. Everybody in America knows that Europeans don't bathe.

Interesting.
Before first going to the US in 1992, I was told Americans do not bathe.
Of course, I found they do actually bathe, just as we do.
I wonder where all these thing are coming from.

Actually, we just started bathing in 1993, at least in the midwest. I hear in the south, no one bathed until 2002. They're still working on it in Alabama and Wyoming.

I'd still like to see better library parts for bath fixtures, but I'll live.

Cheers!
