ACADuser Posted March 11, 2020 Share Posted March 11, 2020 I have to add room moldings to several hallways How / where is the molding default set? Or how do I use the Object Eyedropper to copy a room molding? How do you get the molding to be wider than the door opening + casing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ACADuser Posted March 11, 2020 Author Share Posted March 11, 2020 OK I found that the room def holds the molding default for that room type. So I'll change the Hall default room. I noticed you must add back the base molding when you do this but that complicates the offset needed on the handrails. I guess you need 2 molding polylines for each molding?

Joe_Carrick Posted March 11, 2020 Share Posted March 11, 2020 Alan, There are 3 possible moldings for a room: Base Chair Rail Crown Each can use a different Molding Profile and locations (height and offset) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ACADuser Posted March 11, 2020 Author Share Posted March 11, 2020 OK, so you can select a room & hit the room molding button again to produce a 2nd room molding polyline. But I want to have a setback for each door opening or do I need to manually move the molding back for each door? See attached, the A is the auto side & the M is where I moved the molding end point?

Joe_Carrick Posted March 11, 2020 Share Posted March 11, 2020 In that case, you will need a separate Molding Polyline for each molding. You would need to manually edit the Molding Polyline to set the distance from the doors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alaskan_Son Posted March 11, 2020 Share Posted March 11, 2020 Alan, I think your quickest solution might be to group select your doors, add a casing to provide the offset, generate the Room Molding Polyline for the rail, and then group select the doors and change the casing back. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
