Does this drive anyone else nuts trying to get baseboard to wrap around the end of walls?  We run into this in a few places on every project. The corners of the baseboard miter but won't wrap the corner.  We can't get the reference circle to fill solid at the end.  Any tips?

Are you using the Room Mode or Interior Mode?  I don't think the option adding baseboard under Room will work unless the hall and living room are drawn as one room.  If you use Interior and add baseboard there by tracing all the walls you want baseboard on, I think it will work.  Don't know if this is the issue but checking.

My experience and understanding is trim will not wrap an arch opening or any other opening. It is painful and needs a correction in SP, as it should in the case where you do not have a trimmed arch opening.

Then again, door and window casing usually partially covers a door or window jamb on the inside. And, we have no control over this either. I tend to not show or focus the details of SP's short-comings in my 3D views or 2D drawings and expect most builders know the reality of how things are built vs the limitations of the program. If not, I draw details that are correct to relate the intent. I don't show details of framing often for that reason either. While you can fake it to a degree, it isn't how it is built, so I try not to show it in close up detail. And, if I need to I drawing other ways.

Its a bummer though.  I draw 80% custom homes  and pretty much all of them meet with me to do live walk-throughs.  So i like it to be as close to "reality" as possible.  Got to love solids!!!

That looks like square base so a solid would be easy enough but it could also be drawn using profiles in 3D view.  I've used it for crown and base before to dress up a 3D view.

See the attached image from SoftPlan version 2020. I added rooms and used standard arch openings as well as an exposed wall end. The baseboard wraps when there is no trim on the opening.

 

If you're seeing different results, please let support know and be sure to include your version and a drawing.

But what if the arch openings have trim? Needs to be corrected.

[Henry Buckner]

Why would the baseboard wrap around the wall if the opening has casing?

[Mark Petri]

I got it to work okay. My mistake - maybe this has been updated and didn't work in the past? Thanks for the participation and setting us straight Brent.

[Jay Johnson]

Sorry for my tardiness in replying everyone.  Just to clarify, that is not an opening; instead, it is a wall end at the head of some stairs.  

 

Most times it will wrap wall ends but there is always a few on every project that it will not.  Drives me nuts as you can waste SO much time messing with it.  I've used "snap", no snap and everything I can think of.

 

Thanks everyone.

[Mark Petri]

Good to know Jay. I think the "lollipops" try too well to clean up and snap to other things in some situations. I notice they have a tough time on ends of walls occasionally. I will try to remember to do more experiments when I am in a drawing I can mess around with.

[Brent Hyndman]

If you can create a ticket we will take a closer look at your drawing Jay. 

[Richard Rubinski]

It worked for me. In room and interior mode. Interior mode I had to adjust the lolly pop on the width of the wall to get it to work. Room mode is what's attached.
