Back splash

[poelcat]

Can someone tell me how to get a back splash on this custom counter top?

I would use a polyline solid from an elevation. You could also use a slab or molding polyline.

thanks Tommy I thought it would match the default settings. Seems to me it should.

It was automatic for me ?????

Maybe the tile on the wall has something to do with it.

Dean if I place a cabinet below it I then get the back splash. It seems that the back splash option is attached to the cabinet and not the counter top. This to me is an error or bug.

Poelcat:

just make the cabinet in that area very thin so it fits underneath the countertop and can't be seen

It works for me without a cabinet????

Dean how did you create the custom part? I drew a rectangle and converted it.

Used a custom counter top extended over the cabinets.
Did you use any wall covering? Will not work if it is used. If you put the tile on the wall as a material it works (see picture). I think Tommy was trying to tell you the best way.

A custom counter top doesn't not own any data to create a backsplash so it needs to get this data from the base cabinet below it.

In Dean's picture, I think his custom counter top covers at least one of the base cabinets (or all of them) which is why he gets the backsplash. In Polecat's picture, I think his custom countertop only covers the gap which is why he won't get a backsplash.

Exactly. So it the custom countertop is an independant item, then look back at my first reply.

I would use a polyline solid from an elevation. You could also use a slab or molding polyline.

If there is a reason not to extend the custom counter top over at least the first cabinet you will have to use a polyline solid from an elevation view or use a slab or molding polyline like Tommy suggested. I see no reason not to extend the custom counter top over at least the first cabinet as you are already drawing it.

I would convert the counter top that is on the cabinet and extend it over. (new tool)

I never had a need to use that new tool and had forgot about it but now I see how useful it is.

Thanks for the tip. Your the man.

Dermot then why call it a counter top when in reality it is just a slab disguised as a counter top. From my point of view if it is a counter top then it should behave as do the the others and the defaults. Please call a spade a spade not a diamond!
