I have a request for basically a picture frame around the skirting that will "frame" the lattice under the front porch... any suggestions?

 

Sorry for the image quality... this is what was sent to me...

Don't know how to answer your problem but I just noticed that that hip roof over the porch is showing 2 7/32" in 12 and in SP is going to round to 2 1/4" in 12.

I think you could create a 3D solid of the parts or just the frame and place it at each space. Or, take a cabinet panel and adjust the texture of the panel to be a lattice or turn off visibility and allow the lattice from the deck skirt to show behind the cabinet panel stiles and rails. Or, use an opening you are not using elsewhere and change the trim to be what you need for the picture frame, then uncheck visibility of all the other parts. Of course you'd have to have the skirting be a wall or work something out with that as well.

Here are my lattice support wall definition settings...

Here is the results...

Even easier ...

 

Define a wall as Hollow A or similar ... Change texture to lattice ... Add FREIZE, SPLASHBOARD and CORNER BOARDS. Break into relevant sized panels by breaking the wall.

The problem I had with the frieze board was there is a roof over the porch and the frieze board went to the soffit.

[Kevin Rabenaldt]

David, have not tried this but can you define your wall with fixed height to force the frieze board to stay at the top of the wall?

[Keith Almond]

The FREIZE "should" always stay attached to the wall. If I don't have the wall full height, why would Softplan assume that I want the WALL freize attached to the roof?
