Can I draw a Countertop by itself? Or a floating floor?
So we have some counters that overhang the cabinets to make a Bar type setting. We also have an island that is triangular in shape. I'm trying to figure out how I can draw these in SH3D.
I tried adding a new "Room" to act as the counter but I don't see any way to specify that a room should be higher than the other rooms.
I added a new "Level" to the plan and then drew the room in that. This worked but was a pain because I couldn't see both levels at once so I didn't know where I was drawing. (Is there a way to view both levels at once but have one grayed out or something?)
I can probably take a Kitchen Cabinet and modify it so it's 1" thick and floating, but this doesn't help me with the triangular island.
Is there any way to draw a room, floor, etc and then set it to be elevated without having to do so in another Level of the house?

Re: Can I draw a Countertop by itself? Or a floating floor?
Assuming you are using version 4.1, you can create a new level, and draw the floor/countertop on that level. The height of the level will be the thickness of your countertop. The elevation of that level will be the elevation of the countertop above the floor of the level beneath it.
If drawing on a new level is a problem, draw the floor/countertop on the kitchen level, then use CTRL-X and CTRL-V to copy the room/countertop to the level above.
Of course you could also use thin boxes with the correct elevation.
