Wall Trim ... can only apply to exterior??

[Rob Ainscough]

I have an area that is internal to the home and is technically a "Bonus room", but FL 2024 does seem to recognize the area as a "room".  When I try to apply Wall Trim (Base Trim) to the wall it only allows me to add the wall trim to "external" which is NOT want I want:



Application of base trim works fine in other "rooms" but not in an "internal" area.  How can I get around this odd limitation?

Trims can be applied on the interior and / or exterior walls.

Regarding the interior walls, if you can't see the trims, check the walls continuity, floors and specially, check the elevations.

Hope this helps.

I did check elevations and still can't see any trim.  Per my image there is not option to apply to interior wall, the trim always gets applied to exterior of the wall.

Again, this is just with ONE area, all other areas that are referenced as "room" (on initial setup) and the trim displays as expected.  It's just the one area not defined as a "room".

I've added a floor, removed the floor, adjusted elevations and still the trim will never show the option to apply to the room.

The issues seems to be that FL 2024 doesn't understand that I'm working with interior walls for this specific area because the area has been initially setup as a "room".  All other "rooms" in my Floorplan work as expected with the Trim. 

Is there some way I can define this area as a "room" so the Trim application works correctly?

Is there some way I can define this area as a "room"?

As I stated in my post, check the exterior walls' continuity

I know there is NO continuity, but why would that prevent me from applying base trim to just one wall on the side of the wall I want it applied to?

Why this happens?   This is one of the most important settings.
I'd suggest that you take a little time to learn the program as well as the walls' continuity concept.
If you have Pat's eBook, check all the examples and descriptions on page 47.

The solution: exterior walls' continuity.

The reason: FP's definition of the exterior / interior spaces.

Hope this helps.
