yes! Did you use a shape?

Joann, I need the whole wall to be free of base molding. Your drawing has base molding on either side of the firebox. My fireplace surround goes corner to corner and the base molding was going in front of my surround. I'm going to try to do my surround the way Keith is telling me to do it. I think that might solve my problem. Thank you!

Keith, wow. I've never even noticed shapes on my program before! I will definitely try that. Those shapes may open up a whole new world for me! Thank you.

Keith, I have Home Designer Pro 2024. Apparently, my soffit does not have the option at all. It's not the end of the world. I would like for it to look better with the the crown molding for the client, but I might not have that option.

Keith, I will try that. Hopefully the base molding with not try to wrap around the sides.

Jo_Ann, no, the current firebox is 6" off the floor.

Jo_Ann, I can do that for the entire room, but not just that one wall.

Ok. I can see what I can do with that. I'm a bit confused about what you are saying, but a soffit always comes in handy.

It looks great when I turn off the molding in the room, but then I lose the crown.

IMG_9532.heic This is the fireplace surround That I was copying.

I assume you are talking about the fireplace. I probably didn't do it the "right" way. I drew a small room out from the wall to make the fireplace (it's see-through) then I put a pass through on both sides and deleted the middle wall. That might not be what you are talking about, but that's what I started with. Then I put a 1 1/4" shelf across the wall and changed the material to a granite. I put 2 partitions the same height and width as the shelf and changed that material to the same granite. then I did a wall covering of the same granite that is the same height as the shelf.

This topic is pretty old, but I'm having a similar issue. There is a box I can check on the wall specification for "No Room Moldings Exterior" and the same for "Interior" that removes all the moldings. I want to keep the crown, though, just not the base molding. There doesn't seem to be a way to do that. Any ideas?

Thanks! I'll have to try it and see if I can follow these directions and get it to work.

That does sound like a lot of work! Probably more than I want to do right now. And yes, I did those shapes on the elevation with a CAD shape and copy & paste. I think for now, my solution will be to have them on the elevation and put a picture on the layout sheet for the cabinet maker. Thanks Jo_Ann!

Here is what I came up with on the elevation, but I wish I could make it show up on the 3D view.
