You can use (3) Multi-Basin Counter 15 instead of one and SEO to shape the counter tops. Use the "Edge Visibility in 2D" setting to turn off the side panels as needed to hide the joints.

You are using the best object for this. The sink is adjustable in the counter top using the "Basin Y Distance from Basin Center" setting, or in 3d just select the node at the center and move it to where you want it.

Ahmed, I don't have AC15 but it seems to me that the object you are using doesn't have the flexibility you want.

What I would do is make a slab in the shape of the counter (with elliptical holes cut into it) and place individual basins at the correct location.

good idea but is there complete eliptical basin in the library i did not find it i find it on three sides eliptical and on the rear side staright this is the case of single basin

In the depository, you will find "Villeroy & Boch Sanitary Objects". There are a couple of elliptical basins there as I recall.

Hope the sizes match what you want, though...

Use 3 objects not one. Put them together. Then you can move the sinks independent of each other. The objects clean up with each other to make it look like one counter top.

Shown here are the (3) objects and the SEO to shape the counter tops with.

Great, Great effort help i like this i understand now that you used (3) Multi-Basin Counter 15 and you choose on number of basin and then you copied it but Does 2d representation of this basin sinks correspond with solid element operation because i heard before that lines of effected targeted element is still the same even after solid element operation

The line you drew the shape of the counter top would be brought to the front and it is the line you would see in 2D. Or leave the SEO on if you like. make it the size of the entire space in front of the counter top. Select the slab tool. Hold down the space bar and left click in front of the counter top you have drawn. That will be your SEO. It can look perfect in 2D. In 3d view put it on an invisible layer.

If you like, you can view those sinks and shaped counter from the top in 3d view and save it as a new object.

Good work. The final steps are to bring the various elements forward or backward. I am not sure what the tool is called. But you probably know what I mean.

Turn on the cover fill of your SEO/Slab and bring it to the top. You can set the line width for the perimeter of the slab to what ever pen you need.

However, since you will have a door in the room I would not make the SEO have a line at the perimeter. Just use a cover fill with the slab that has no line. Bring forward the line you drew to shape the counter top so it is on top of the SEO/slab.

One more little thing. I never like the way the Tap Styles look.

What I do to fix them is to explode a copy of the sink and drag a few of the fills over on top of the object to hide the lines that should not be showing up in a true top view. It's a little fussy but it bugs me.
