Boston7 Posted August 26, 2023 Share Posted August 26, 2023 Hello How can I create wainscoting on a curved wall ? would like to have the wainscotting under crown molding and the part above molding will be in wall paper. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DBCooper Posted August 26, 2023 Share Posted August 26, 2023 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: https://www.chiefarchitect.com/videos/watch/825/create-wainscoting-using-cabinets.html?playlist=87 https://www.chiefarchitect.com/videos/watch/415/creating-wainscotting-using-railings.html?playlist=85 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rgardner Posted August 26, 2023 Share Posted August 26, 2023 Curved cabinets in conjunction with room molding poly lines. But it does take quite a bit of fussing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkMc Posted August 27, 2023 Share Posted August 27, 2023 Converted a cabinet door to a molding, had to mess around a little with repeat distance and height was odd. curved wainscot.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich_Winsor Posted August 27, 2023 Share Posted August 27, 2023 I don't know? I just applied the wainscoting from the library to a curved wall. Are we overthinking this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robdyck Posted August 27, 2023 Share Posted August 27, 2023 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.

Rich_Winsor Posted August 28, 2023 Share Posted August 28, 2023 OK, I see, you want curved panels. So build curved panels. This was done using Molding Polylines to build the wainscoting and a Material Region for the wallpaper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
