Best method for creating a bath cut out in a raised level
Hi I have a client who would like a step up to a higher level in a bathroom where the bath will then be recessed into that level so its flush with the higher level floor surface.
Can anyone suggest the best method for achieving this cut out function. I tried using a custom counter top but couldnt see how you could create a hole for the interior of the bath.
Regards

Well, that is as clear as mud............. so I will pass on trying to figure out what you are talking about. I am sure someone else knows what you are referring to.

The videos we watch are not 100% gold, but if we find a gold nugget, the time spent viewing has a value.

"Hole in Counter Top" tool?
Or you could use a Slab instead of the Counter Top. IAE, there are hole tools for both.
Another Option is to make the raised level from a "Base Cabinet". If you set the options for the bathtub to "recess into countertop" then it will cut the hole automatically.Joseph P. Carrick, Architect - AIA

Sorry :0)
As you walk into the bathroom space there is two steps up to a higher level. The bath tub is then recessed into this higher level so you could then effectively walk into the bath once positioned on the higher level.
I'm sure she has seen it on some James Bond film or something.
I'll try and find an image.
There you go - I typed recessed bath tub into google and there it is.
Obviously you cannot see the step up to the higher level as this image has been taken from the higher level but you get the idea. The bath tub sits in the level of the floor.

Here's a Base Cabinet (Marble Materials) with Recessed Tub. IMO this is really the easiest way to do this.
