Wall Covering: Wainscot Wrap
How do I get my wall covering that I am using as wainscot to wrap around my openings? Doors used for these openings do not have casing.
I've tried interior wall material but that covers the entire interior and I only want it to go up to 4' AFF.
I can take a lot of time with polyline solid, but there has got to be an easier way.
I'm using v10.something
I've tried to attach a jpeg of the area I'm referring to.
Thanks for the help.Winans

No, there's not an easier way.

You got my hopes up for a second. I think Jason is correct; p solids are the only way.

I think a slab or soffit would actually be easier than a p-line solid because you only need one object to cover four faces. I'd make a slab just slightly bigger than your "post" and make it 4' high.

I would use a slab in plan rather than a soffit.

Other alternatives. Experiment with "Make Room Molding Polyline". You can break these and wrap around the corners, or just use the Mldg Tool on the door openings and let the Wallcovering do the rest.

Have you tried a cabinet?
Check video 516 of the 9.54 Version and see if there's a similar for your version.Jorge Araya

Introduce yourself to the 'wall covering' tab in the wall dbx. It'll do exactly what you want.

Sorry should have read closer.
In addition to the 'wall covering' tab in the wall dbx, try 'suppressing casing' for the opening -even though the casing is @ '0'. That wraps the opening in normal walls.

Well, Adam, unless you've got a reply that I don't see................
I don't see where he stated that he 'suppressed casing', (that's how you get the material to 'wrap' an opening- there's a difference between setting trim width to '0' & suppressing it) & I'm not real sure how he's using the wall covering tool. Is he actually using the 'wall covering ' tab in the specific wall dbx, or is assigning a material on the interior surface of the wall thru the material tab in the wall dbx?
Whatever, it doesn't work. Pony walls don't work either.
Molding polylines will work.
Looks like an improvement request to add to v11.

Is this what you're looking for? (there's no P-line solids)

It's simply a custom baseboard molding as they do wrap around jambs.
