Chloe1Casey Posted November 29, 2018 Share Posted November 29, 2018 I know I am just being an idiot but I have searched through this forum and I cannot find an answer. I have a room where the ceiling is sloped (single slope) and the slope is defined by the roof above it. I am trying to put crown molding around the room but when I go to the room dbx and choose molding, I pick a profile and define it as crown but it wants me to define its distance from the floor. Obviously that is different for each location along the walls. Is there a way to tell it that I want it just below the ceiling - whatever height that is?

Chloe1Casey Posted November 29, 2018 Author Share Posted November 29, 2018 Thanks Eric, I was hoping there was an easier way. I swear back in X5 (my previous version), you could just define how far down from the ceiling in the dbx rather than just how far up from the floor. Maybe I am imagining things. ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
javatom Posted November 29, 2018 Share Posted November 29, 2018 Do yourself a favor and don't be the designer that specified crown molding on a sloped ceiling. The only way in the real world to do this is with transition blocks and it looks really bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The customer currently has a T&G natural wood ceiling with a small coved strip around the edge to hide where the boards meet the sheetrock at the walls. The cove is falling down and we are going to be painting the wood so I am going to just put a 5/8" x 1-1/2" strip where the wall meets the ceiling to replace the cove.

tommy1 Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 My brother has been able to do it by coping the joints but I certainly wouldn't recommend it unless your very good at coping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NRST8TRKR Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 I did a plan for a client back in late eighties and then trimmed the house for him. He had a pool room (game room) and when I trimmed the house he decided he wanted crown in that room. I did it, but swore i would never do it again. To this day I have not. It is a real PITA. Merry Christmas guys and a Great New Year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chloe1Casey Posted November 30, 2018 Author Share Posted November 30, 2018 I actually ended up doing it in my own personal house, but it is a VERY simple cove crown and it is 20' up so any faces that don't quite match (by mm's) are too far away to see.
