Hey Don,
The countertops don’t place overtop of the architectural items because they don’t have anchor points for the countertop coded in to them. Editing the countertop to cover the columns is the way to go. To get rid of the seam in a countertop you can Link sections and combine to make them 1 piece.
You can do it like this:
Linking and Combining Countertop Sections
The Link Sections and Combine tools are available for countertops added using the Countertops button, the Drag & Drop list, the shape buttons in the Annotations ribbon, and the Countertop and Trims button. Link Sections and Combine are not available for countertops added using the Countertop Wizard.
Link Sections allows you to connect two or more countertop sections. After linking sections, you can edit them simultaneously using Edit Shape.
Complete the following steps to link and then combine two sections:
1. Point to the first countertop section that you want to link, right-click, and choose Link Sections.
2. Select the second countertop section that you want to link. Both sections should now be highlighted or appear with blue handles.
3. Now you will combine the countertops. Point to the linked sections, right-click, and select Edit Shape.
4. Point to the first section to be combined, right-click, and select Combine from the Section Menu.
5. Select the second section.
There is also a great video in the Level 201 E-learning on http://www.2020.net under countertops called combining countertops.
Hope that helps.
Neil
