Interested to know your thoughts. When adding skirting or cornice to an interior, I have had issues with using a wall sweep. Firstly, exterior walls get a sweep along the entire length and not just local to the room which means dragging grips (trim would be handy here). In addition, internal walls spanning multiple rooms suffer the same issue. You then get warnings pop up or the grips don't meet when you move or edit walls. Anyone had similar experiences?

I have built a line based family with two mitre parameters which calculates the length required before cutting. It trims, schedules well and is very flexible. Not easy to swap out profiles, openings have to be managed manually and you have to use allot of constraints if you want it to flex with the design. Haven't started using it yet before hearings your considerations.

Cheers
