Hi Roger Parker,

I am not sure if I am following you: the wainscot will start where the autofloor ends
If this is not what you mean, please, provide more info and we'll help you

Hi Patricia, Yes, that is what I mean. I have 9'-2" walls(very old house) with an 8" autofloor, making the exterior walls 9'-10" tall. I've verified this by making a 9'-10" tall interior wall outside the house, unattached to anything, and moved it around, as a measuring stick, so that I can gauge actual height in 3D live view. This is a very handy tool in many cases. Any way, when I add the 36" brick(or library) wainscot to the exterior wall, the bottom of the brick appears 8" up from the bottom of the wall, then the brick for 36", then the rest of the wall. It seems I can only change this by changing the thickness of the autofloor. Being that wainscot is a "TRIM" it seems that it is subject to making sure that it is above the floor & visable like any interior trim. I would think that being brick for exterior use, that floor level would be ignored. Is there some way to deal with this, some setting or other? I also have two other problems I could use some help on if you've got the time. Thanks, Roger

Hi Roger,

This is exactly the way it works.
In the image attached, you can see the situation you are describing. The trim and the wainscot (meaning interior and exterior) start at the same level (8")
The materials in Punch are just textures, not real materials, so Punch doesn't understand about "interior"and "exterior" materials

If you are not going to use the Estimator, Framing editor, etc, just change the walls to Interior type, add 8"to the height and use a manual floor--> the wainscot will start at 0"level

Of course, feel free to post your questions at the Forum and we'll help you

Roger,

I forgot this comment
Regarding the "measuring stick" :-) --> the best resource to get the vertical dimensions is the Elevation Editor (Power Tools)

Choose the elevation (Front, Rear, etc) or cross section and use the dimension tool (left of the screen)

Thanks Patricia, I thought that might be the case. I was hoping that Punch had accounted for the difference between Interior/Exterior trim levels. I'll post my next dilemma under a new topic. Roger.
