Wainscot Finishes

[bpayne]

Several other posts have hinted at this, but havn't been real clear. How is everyone handeling partial wall changes in finish, such as a 4'-0" wainscot of tile in a restroom?

As of this minute, I am considering using a sweep around the perimeter of the restroom.

You can "paint" on different materials, or use a "stacked wall"--
try both of these depending on the finishes and wall construction.

cheers...

I don't like stacked walls, but I wouldn't use that unless it happens many places.

I agree with either using a sweep if you want to give it an actual thickness, or just split the face and paint the portion of the wall with a tile pattern.

wall sweeps with profiles, here.

For simple toilet room wainscot use the split face tool. draw the split line at the desired height ie:48". Then after completing the split face tool, use the paint tool to paint the desired material.

Sweeps/profiles here too. I've even created a wall type and ran it next to a core for thicker wainscott,
as in exterior stucco. You can control visibility that way.

Still waiting for that visibility switch on compound walls...

I create a wall type with the required finish from the bottom upto the required height. 'Split face' is very difficult to do if you have too many walls having the same finishes.

Beegee, how do you create a curved shaped using that method ?

[beegee]

You can't paint on a curved wall, so,

1. Stacked wall.
2. Build a wall using the finishes material.
3. Use a sweep .

Definitely a good reason, curve wall
Thanks
