3-Compartment Sink

Anonymous
Not applicable
I've looked and I'm pretty sure I looked everywhere, but I can't find a basic three-compartment, stainless-steel sink used by restaurants and industry the world over. Is it missing or do I keep over looking it?

I've been using a hacked version for the last few years but it's crappy and would be so much better if it were a real part.

Or does anyone know of a 3rd party that might have one? A good one and not an incomplete mess?

What about use something like this? I think there's a lot of threads about bringing them to archicad.

Thanks for pointing me in that direction. The model is really nice looking but I was hoping from something parametric with options instead of trying to hack one into place.

I'm looking at what I'll need to use this however. It looks better in 3D than what I have now.






-switchable from corner to straight
-adjust the # of sinks from 1-whatever (making this a more universal utility sink)
-adjust x,y,z of sink dimensions
-with or without side boards (independently controlled)
-adjust x,y of sideboards
-adjust leg height
-adjust drainage
-adjust splash board height
-adjust faucet type
-adjust materials
-able to add cover fills
-able to change pen type and line type

These are some of the parameters I was hoping to find in an object. Would this be difficult to script the one from Google's warehouse to function like this?

Something like this you could make by putting walls and slabs togeter.
You could also drag it into the GDL-editor and put some parameters like material on it, and replace the chosen material in the code by the parameter.
It's also possible to make the sizes dynamic from the code in the GDL-editor.
You just have to add some more parameters and use them from the code.
There are information available at Graphisofts site about how to make simple objects. The manual I think about show you by going through samples step-by-step.

I made a kitchen some time ago. I had to buy a commercial kitchen collection from objects on line. This one:
