2D, 3D, BIM - 6 The Bathroom Part 2 - The Sink

Last week I showed you how to make a shower cubicle in BricsCAD. In this tutorial, I will be showing you how I created a CAD sink. We will be reinforcing some of the commands you've already learned and adding a few more.

Commands covered this week

The Sink

I began by revolving a closed polyline to create the sink base and shelled. I then lofted to create the bowl and shelled again. To finish I extruded two holes for the faucet and the drain.

2D plan views of the model

To do this:

  1. Start by drawing out your sink shape in polylines. Use the POLYLINE and ELLIPSE commands to create the shapes.2D, 3D, BIM - 6 The Bathroom Part 2 - The Sink- 1-768x455
  2. REVOLVE the base.2D, 3D, BIM - 6 The Bathroom Part 2 - The Sink- 2-1024x619
  3. SOLIDEDIT -- Body -- Shell. Select the top and bottom surfaces for removal. The distance is 0.5.2D, 3D, BIM - 6 The Bathroom Part 2 - The Sink- hollow
  4. Use LOFT. Select the closed polylines to create the bowl shape. Select the lowest ellipse first and the topmost ellipse last.2D, 3D, BIM - 6 The Bathroom Part 2 - The Sink- loft
  5. SOLIDEDIT -- Body -- Shell. Select the top surface of the bowl. The distance is 1.2D, 3D, BIM - 6 The Bathroom Part 2 - The Sink- 5-1024x571
  6. Extrude a circle through the center of the bowl to create a plug hole. Use the Subtract mode.
  7. Extrude the faucet hole. Use the Both sides mode.2D, 3D, BIM - 6 The Bathroom Part 2 - The Sink- 6-1024x626

The Faucet

Next created the faucet. I extruded 3 cylinders to specified dimensions, then extruded 2 more at 90°. Finally, I shaved off the excess material and added an exit for the water.

To do this:

  1. Create a new layer. Use this as the drawing layer.2D, 3D, BIM - 6 The Bathroom Part 2 - The Sink- layers
  2. Extrude the circles to the correct height.
    Or, use the CYLINDER command.2D, 3D, BIM - 6 The Bathroom Part 2 - The Sink- 9-1024x691
  3. At 90 degrees extrude two cylinders to create the handle and the spout.2D, 3D, BIM - 6 The Bathroom Part 2 - The Sink- 10-1024x716
  4. Use Extrude-Both sides -- Subtract to remove an angled section from the spout.2D, 3D, BIM - 6 The Bathroom Part 2 - The Sink- 11-1024x688
  5. On the surface, you just created, draw a circle in the center of the surface. Use ESnaps -- Geometric center.
    Or, use a cylinder.
    Note: Hit Shift to lock the drawing surface to the face.
  6. OFFSET the edge of the cylinder. The distance is 0.1.2D, 3D, BIM - 6 The Bathroom Part 2 - The Sink- 12-1024x680
  7. Extrude into the hole.2D, 3D, BIM - 6 The Bathroom Part 2 - The Sink- 13-1024x692
  8. Optional: Use SOLIDEDIT -- Body -- Shell to hollow out the faucet.

Putting it together

The final step was to put the faucet in place and add the piping.

To do this:

  1. Stay on the same layer. MOVE the faucet into position on the hole of the bowl.2D, 3D, BIM - 6 The Bathroom Part 2 - The Sink- 15-1024x607
  2. Using DUCS draw a rectangle along the z-axis, from the base of the faucet.
  3. Use TRIM to cut remove two of the lines. You should now have two polylines joined at a 90° angle.
    Or, draw 2 polylines at 90°.2D, 3D, BIM - 6 The Bathroom Part 2 - The Sink- 16-1024x553
  4. Fillet the polyline. The radius is 10.2D, 3D, BIM - 6 The Bathroom Part 2 - The Sink- 17-1024x552
  5. SWEEP the vertex of the base of the faucet along the line.2D, 3D, BIM - 6 The Bathroom Part 2 - The Sink- 18-1024x599
  6. Repeat steps 2-5, using the drainage hole as the sweep profile.2D, 3D, BIM - 6 The Bathroom Part 2 - The Sink- 19-1024x566
  7. Use the Subtract command to create a hole in the base. Select the base, then select the drainage piping.
  8. As a final touch, you can use the SHELL command to hollow out the piping.
