      Wow guys!!! ๐Ÿ˜ฎ thanks for spending so much time on tuts!!!!!

      One thing that I've been thinking is how they appear in plan and elevation considering htey don.t have visible edges. I downloaded a file from a product website and used it in my model but when setting basic edges styles the model couldn't be seen.... I guess it's just a matter of drawing in the lines you.d need for plan or elevation of just set profiles on......

      BTW, It would be interesting to hear what size files you've all created.

      Thanks again to you all, it great to see all different workflows.... I'll give it a run tonight

        That is a great tut Chip, well done although the music almost put me to sleep.

        Glad to help Andrew.

          Thanks Eric. Originally, I had some Brooks and Dunn, but YouTube flagged me. Any suggestions on where I can find decent "legally free" background tunes?

            You could always hum a tune while modeling. ๐Ÿ’š

                      There are three separate appliances here ๐Ÿ˜’

                      A 'WC/water-closet/toilet-pan/crapper/bog/lavvy/john/head/etc...' which is the thing that most of us have in our 'bathroom' at home - you might remember that you sit on it [or hover] to do a 'poo' [or a 'wee' if you are a woman, or a 'gay man']...

                      A 'Bidet' - this looks similar to a WC, but it has taps [faucets] and a considerably smaller waste outlet pipe... you use this for washing your 'nether-regions' for post-'poo/wee/sex' or for 'general cleanliness' operations - it is somewhat peculiar to the 'French world' - but it's not unique - I had one in may last house in the UK - which was useful for washing your feet... and people with more money than sense have this extra fitment installed in their vast bathrooms ๐Ÿ˜‰ [Tip: never try to 'poo' in it - it just won't work !!!]

                      The thing that's been illustrated is a 'Sluice' [euphemistically called a 'Disposal-Unit' in much of the USA]. This is a cross between the two things - it is used for emptying bed-pans or rinsing dirty linen etc - it's almost always found in a hospital or care-facility... [I imagine it would be very uncomfortable to 'sit on', as there are the stainless-steel grid bars that protect the main parts from damage during contact with metal bed-pans etc, Doing a 'poo' in one, or trying to wash yourself in one would almost certainly result in you being ejected from the hospital, if not arrested for a 'misdemeanor' (or worse)]

                      So... please use each type of appliance responsibly... if in doubt seek advice from 'an adult' [but never one who you don't know, who is lurking around the lavatories.....]

                            just to finish some of the story with reference to the stainless-steel grid bars.

                            If you have ever tried to retrieve a sack of marbles from a storm water drain, you will understand the dangers of sitting on, or even hovering too close to, such a construction!

                                  My wife is a nurse at a hospice department but I doubt they have these installed (although therealmost all patients "use" bed pans). I'll ask however how they discharge the deposit. Maybe just throw out of the window.

                                      The French disagree with everyone, so what? Robin Williams (whom I think is the funniest man alive) got it right about that, but I fail to see where he enlightened us with the pronunciation.

                                      And Pilou, that photo is of what is commonly referred to (today) as a "Chamber-pot". There is no water washer as is common with Bidets'.

                                      Anyway, I think this topic is going down the tubes and we should flush it now. ๐Ÿคฃ
