Tile floor for a shower

[Eric Milberger]

I would like to create a floor covering that is 4x4 ceramic tile.  That is task one.

May be an shape

Then I would like to depress the tile to where the drain is and add a drain at that location

Help is appreciated

Operating system used: Mac Apple Silicon 29

Here's a video I did last year on using the Mesh Tool for shower floors (and the column tool for drains).

I was hoping this could be handled like other modeling software.  It required you to set a point in the top of the slaband then to depress it.  And you could do multiple like for a trench drain

The CI Essentials Tiled Shower object. It only allows for a square drain though...
I usually just do as Jared has shown...

Same. Most of the time we do as Jared shows as most of the time is the only process needed

[JaredBanks]

that is how the Mesh solution works in the video I referenced.

Is CI essentials part of Graphisoft now or a add on service.

Unsure, though they do not seem to have a lcf or libpack for AC28 or AC29. They have the individual objects for download though, and they are supposedly on BIMComponents but that site appears to have just become a portal for BIMObject...

Hi @Eric Milberger 

You can create a sloped shower floor using the Composites and Roof tool. To cut away the lower portion of the composite's filler material, simply use Solid Element Operations. This workaround can be time-consuming but ensures precise construction.

Thank-you as I will look into this.  If you have a saved what you created above?  Would you provide it here to be shared
