brushpark Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 The home I am working on has many cased opening with plinth blocks not to mention all the doors. Is there a way to stop the baseboard from turning the corner and overlaying the casing and adding a plinth block without doing this manually? See the attached sketch.

Larry_Sweeney Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 Just a note.......Your pinth block should be as high or a little higher and deeper than your base. Then even if it did return you would not see it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brushpark Posted July 7, 2014 Author Share Posted July 7, 2014 I haven't placed the plinth block yet. The picture shows the baseboard not stopping at the casing, turning 90deg and overlaying. I would like the base to stop at the casing automatically so I don't have to create a room molding polyline and remove the molding on the line edge. I have the plinth block option toggled, but noticed it doesn't display in the camera view. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brushpark Posted July 9, 2014 Author Share Posted July 9, 2014 Look in the hallway where the revision balloon is. My fix was to create a plinth block and make it thick enough to cover the base molding. If you delete the plinth block, it should become clear what my issue is. The openings are cased leading down the hallway with plinth blocks. Not only does the plinth not show, but the base board heads down the hallway and turns 90 deg onto the cased opening where the plinth is. I would have to create a molding polyline and remove the molding from the polyline edge. It's more work and if the wall moves, I have to manually change the molding polyline. blume floor plan.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KilgoreTrout Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 Chief does not create 3D plinth blocks automatically and you have to manually place them if you want them to show up in camera views. As for the base molding not bumping into the door casing or plinth block, the easiest way to handle this is to convert the hallway base molding into a manual molding polyline using the "make room molding polyline" tool. Then just edit out the edges you don't want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brushpark Posted July 10, 2014 Author Share Posted July 10, 2014 I figured this would be the fix, but I didn't want to manually make that change. Thanks for your input! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
