How to apply plate rail to one wall only.

[snorswal]

I am working on a historic home and the client wishes to have tile up to the door height on one wall only.  Currently I am using wall covering and chair rail set at 85" to replicate the look they want, but unsure how I can do this on just ONE wall? The wall covering part is no problem, but the chair rail is my issue.  Thoughts?

Try eliminating the wall covering on all of the walls. Then on the one wall that needs it, cover it with a soffit set to the thickness of the tile and put your chair rail on top of that.

Thank you rookie 65, I have done that with shower walls in the past. At the risk  of sounding  dense...how does one get a chair rail on just ONE wall?

Individual walls may have a Wall Covering applied. Wall Coverings may also be applied to a room.

 

For a single piece of molding, use a thin Soffit or Custom Countertop with a molding.

If you do it with a soffit, you can add the chair rail on the soffit. If you need the tile on all of the walls, then eliminate it from the wall covering you have. Then add the moulding itself at the height needed on just the one wall you want it on by using a thin soffit with a moulding. .

Thank you both.  I was able to get tile on an individual wall, but was unsure how to stop the "chair rail" cap from continuing around the room. I will try the soffit with molding along tat wall.

For applying tile to a wall, you really should be using the Custom Backsplash tool. Read up on it to understand how it works if you do not already know.

Almost there.  This is the soffit method. Would the custom backsplash method eliminate the extension of the molding shown here?  

[snorswal]

Two different methods, same issue.  Left is soffit with molding, right is custom backsplash with custom countertop as cap.  Both want to extend and wrap at the end.  Is there a way to stop that and get a butt end? I can see on the custom countertop menu that there is an option to have "molding on selected edge" but i am unsure how to use this function.

Select an edge where you do not want the molding, open the countertop, click No Molding, close the dialog, repeat.
