Curved wainscoting wall

There are a couple of videos about creating wainscotting using either cabinets or railings.  I don't think either of these will actually follow a curved wall very well though because each panel section will be straight.  There are some more advanced tricks to make them curve but they are not very easy.  You could always just use a material (using either a wall material region or even just a wall covering) but this might not look as good as you want since the 3D geometry isn't there.  It really all depends on how realistic you need it (and how curved the wall is).

 

FWIW, here are the videos:

If the radius of the wall is certain, then one way to make a symbol that is curved properly would be to use a door / window / wall niche. These objects can be curved to the wall. The door tool will allow you to create / specify a panel and convert it into a curved symbol to use as a wainscot panel. Moldings for the base and cap are the simple part. 

Further suggestions would be somewhat dependent on the style of wainscot that is desired.
