Slab Setdowns

Anonymous

Hi,

Just wondering how people deal with setdowns in slabs for areas like bathrooms. Do you use separate slabs grouped together, meshes or something else tricky?

Cheers

Model the tile and grout/underlay within the slab. Use these elements to Solid Element Operate [SEO=Boolean] on the slab - a "Setdown" if i understand.

Make a phantom slab to SEO the required amount.

Make a thinner or downset slab using the same material as the adjacent slab and the interstices will heal.
