Thanks for your time Michael... i finally figured it out using your method. Cheers. I had to recess to main layer and use a s molding for case..here is what i did to make it work.

.. What thickness is the splash then? Most quartz and stone only comes in 2cm or 3cm

I posted earlier some drywall reveals.. secret would be put install these at a consistent height everywhere and then drywall just sits on top and there is a mud lip to finish it off. then when ready flooring would be installed right up to plastic reveal and base installed last. we do design/build Reno’s and additions so I design, budget, project manage and we do the cabinets as well so full control.

I can imagine.. I really like this look.. I have a modern home addition Reno to do and was wanting to show client what it could look like.

I see that, but if you want a 1/2” or so reveal all the way up door case isn’t the wmr only going to cut 1/16”?

If your material region is only 1/16” how will it be the same depth as the recess above base?

So you have a full case flush on both sides of door? I thought you could only do one side?

Mick I tried doing a material region on an elevation, can’t snap to anything or center, so it’s difficult to get it just right. Doesnt work for me like you?

Thanks Mick.. I have done this many times just wasn’t sure . yes my pony wall lower wall is two 0” thicknesses of black with framing in the middle

Also there is a gap at end of wall where drywall would have been?

i have a casing...mick how do you copy framing material and blend..are you just painting it in 3d?

I am still not sure how to make rough opening make shadow line around door? I had to keep casing checked and make it the same width as door jamb and 1/16" thick. when you have an end wall condition the studs show through?

Great ideas thanks... I didn’t really need the black just the reveal.. if it’s done then the shadow will work to provide the look.. does the door reveal work on both sides? Thanks for your input.

Here are some drywall trims to use with base

Goo hack.. but it kind defeats purpose of having a 3D design program. what about having a pony wall with lower wall a 1/8” thick 4.5” black layer over studs and then somehow recess a 3/8”x4” base and the difference will be the recess? Maybe this is what Eric did?

So 4 different moldings? But then you don’t get true reveal as it wraps around corners.

I completely understand how to make a pony wall and use material regions for grooves but pony walls only allow two types of walls. so the inset about base can not be made with a pony wall can it? using material regions for that groove is time consuming and they are not easy to line up. eric it would be great if you elaborated

Looks good, but how do you use pony walls?

That seems like a whole lot of work. it would take for ever. there must be an easier way?

I want to show a flush base and door trim anyone know how to do this easily with chief?

Thanks.. I think I was saving as a block to my library.. not sure why, I have created and saved many symbols to my library... then you can stretch and reverse.. cheers Merry Christmas

Thanks do much everyone.. it never ceases to amaze me the help I get on this forum, thank you. ca says I can just go to library and drop a door wherever I want.. but the only go into walls. the reason I wasn’t using the bonus library for barn doors is I lock the rolling brackets to door and then I can open or close barn door by selecting and sliding left or right, this can not be done with preloaded doors. i also just stretch track to suitable length based on opening. anyone have tips and tricks they use with barn doors?

i will try it, i copied and pasted plan into a new one and that seemed to work. Merry Christmas

eric if i delete current floor command, wont that delete the plan? this design is for a basement.

Hi all, i have this basement plan and when i go to full extents it zooms way out...I cant find out where the rogue object is. I have attached plan for anyone to open and try and let me know what is going on. Any help would be appreciated. smith basement.zip
