Base Molding
While zooming in I noticed the base molding not sitting on the durface of wall correctly. See attached. This is a custom col base with a shoe molding. It is my default room molding. Is there a way to adjust it to sit on surface correctly?

For now you could replace the molding with one that has a flat back. I think that will correct it.Last edited by Larry Kumpost; 07-07-2006 at 04:08 PM.

Thanks Larry, yes your right and I figured that flatening or extending one of the short lines will take care of it. And its not a big deal. I can't imagine anything it would, down the road screw up. But if it is a bug, I guess it should be remmenied. All the moldings (casing,base, chair rail ) I use has this step. A wait and see, maybe there is a way to correct this before I start changing my profiles.

Chief I believe actually puts some moldings to the framing layer at least it did a while back for the crown mold. It's been a while since I checked again. I'll check it later...just got home.

When someone at Chief reads this the bug is that:
Chief does not always set the edge of a custom molding that is furthest to the left as the left edge of the molding. It appears to take a line on the left that is longer (or longest).

Base Molding
This one worked fine, I checked others also. it appears that in fact it does look at the longest of the flats and moves the molding based on that surface.

I always intended to go back and take a closer look before reporting it but...
Good to get confirmation!Larry

For whatever it's worth. To remedy: Just drop a line connecting the 2 offsets
prior to blocking so the molding has a flat back.Doug Michel
