Room Polylines

Click the Make Room Polyline edit button to create a standard polyline that follows the surfaces of the selected room.

Room polylines and room molding polylines are not affected when the room is altered.

Room Molding Polylines

To create a molding polyline that follows the interior surfaces of a room, select the room and click the Make Room Molding Polyline button on the edit toolbar.

Room molding polylines can be edited just like other molding polylines. Their shape and height can be altered and the molding profile can be changed. Additional molding profiles can also be assigned. See "Molding Polylines".

Use a room molding polyline to wrap a molding around an object the molding would not normally wrap around. You can also remove a portion of an existing room molding by removing an edge of the polyline. See "Edit Object Parts".

Make Room Molding Polyline Dialog

Select the type of molding to convert to a molding polyline.

Each option is only enabled if the selected room has that type of molding applied to it. When you convert a molding type to a molding polyline, the room molding turns off. See "Moldings Tab".

Blank Molding - Select to generate a blank molding polyline at the specified height. The polyline follows the room perimeter and has blank sections where the polyline crosses windows and doors if these objects are at the polyline height.

Height - Specify the height of the blank molding.

Expand Room Polyline

The Expand Room Polyline edit button displays when you select a room separated from other rooms by invisible walls or railings and creates a polyline that ignores those invisible walls and railings.

To use the Expand Room Polyline tool

The Expanded Room Polyline tool does not create a new room that can be opened for specification; it only allows you to generate a larger room polyline or room molding polyline.
