Doug,

Related to this thread I found something that may be useful.  Often there is a problem with Crown Moulding and the baseboard not flowing around the end of free standing walls, such as when there is just an opening from one room into another.  Previously I have made a thin wall and drawn the three sides of the wall as if it was thin room.  I found however that you can actaully use a regular wall, draw the wall as if a room and then drag one wall into the other.  The two walls will actually merge but still have an 'end' that retrain the mouldings.  It remains two walls so will not accept doors and windows but if they are not needed, then it easily solves the moulding problems.

I might put this in the Tips too since this thread is now long it may be missed by those who need it.

Hi Doug: Having some problems. When I try to add them to the Trim Elements in the Master it selects a piece of trim that is already there. If I try to add it to my Imported Catalogue when I Add Element to my Trim Group it choses a 1" x 2" 3' long blue rectangle and won't let me add your 3ds. If I try to import it doesn't give me trim as a place to add. ? Evidently I don't have the right grasp of Adding Imported Elements and as usual the program Help is of no help.

I dont think you will be able to add 3DS Files to Trim.  You will probably have to add them to Interior accessories and Elevate them into place.

I agree and usually put ALL imported .3ds files into that category and have my own folders there to find my items
