Applying Trims

It is easy to add base trim, crown molding, or library paneling for an elegant appearance, or you can use wainscotting so you can apply two different materials on one wall. You can also add casing molding around doors and windows and even apply trim to the top of cabinets for a completely unique look.

Trim is applied by dragging the trim onto a surface in the 3D view, so you must have a 3D view open to access the trims styles. You can change a trim style by applying a new style right on top of an existing style and even remove trim after it has been applied.

The Base Trim Library and Crown Trim Library include categories of trim, including window and door casing styles. The Library Paneling library includes various heights of paneling to apply to your design.

If SmartWand is enabled, you can choose to apply to the individual surface or to all similar surfaces. For more information, see “Using the SmartWand”

To apply paint and materials to trim, see “Applying Paint Colors” or see “Applying Building Materials”
