Customize Trim (Base, Crown and Chair) in 3D Floor Planner

Introduction

Whether you want to apply crown molding, chair rail, or baseboard, you can easily customize these elements with a paint color, wood finish, or other textures.

Step 1: Accessing the Wall Editor

Select the Wall:
- Click on any wall in your 3D room design to begin.
Open the Wall Editor:
- After selecting the wall, a tooltip will appear. Click on the edit icon to enter the wall editor.
- Here, you can add paint colors to the wall and manage trim elements.

Step 2: Adding and Customizing Crown Molding

Select Crown Molding:
- In the wall editor, click on the "Trim" option in the right-side panel.
- You will see options for crown molding, baseboard, and chair rail. Select "Crown Molding."
Apply Crown Molding:
- Choose the desired crown molding option. It will appear as a basic rectangular shape in the editor but will show detailed relief in 3D mode.
Adjust Dimensions:
- Adjust the height and depth of the crown molding as needed.
Change Texture:
- Click on the edit icon next to the texture option to open the texture library.
- Choose from a variety of textures. For a wood finish, select a wood texture from the library.
  Apply the selected texture to the crown molding.
Rotate Texture (if needed):
- If the wood texture grain is not aligned as desired, use the rotation tool in the right-side panel to rotate the texture. For instance, if it's aligned vertically, you can rotate 90° to have it aligned horizontally.

Step 3: Adding and Customizing Baseboard

Select Baseboard:
- In the trim options, select "Baseboard."
Apply Baseboard:
- Choose the desired baseboard option and adjust the height and depth as needed.
Match Crown Molding Texture:

Step 4: Applying Trim to All Walls

Duplicate Trim Settings:
