Discover the benefits of adding wall bases in your architectural drawings and how it can significantly improve the visual appeal of your rooms. Learn how to effectively modify and maneuver these bases around different features in the room, such as cabinets and tubs, to maximize their impact.
Key Insights
- The article educates on how to add wall bases to architectural drawings, demonstrating a process that involves aligning and stretching them depending on the layout of the room.
- Specific attention is given to dealing with potential difficulties when maneuvering bases around room features, such as backside of the cabinets or end panel conditions. The writer suggests using the align tool and mouse precision to ensure accuracy.
- It's important to verify that wall bases have been included in all desired locations as they will appear on the elevations and significantly affect the overall look of the architectural model.

So to finish off the base, what I've done is I've gone ahead and added it to the rest of our rooms in the restroom here. And you can see we have the option if we add it to say one of these walls, I can actually stretch it out in front of the tub if that's what we wanted to do there. Because it does give us the ability to kind of move these things around.
And so we do have that same end panel condition here with this wing wall, that's kind of where we'd have like a towel rack or something in there. And so we want to make sure we add it to that point. But I did notice that we have a couple areas where we don't quite wrap it around the wall, because we don't have it on the backside of the cabinet here.
But we do still want this base to wrap around. And so we can use the same process that we used before. If I use the modify returns here, I can use the align tool, and I can grab a point.
If I wanted it to go to say there, I can have the base turn the corner to that point. Or if you wanted it to go all the way around, I could have it go down the side of the cabinet as well. I'm going to stop it at the edge of the wall here like that.
And so I've got that condition here. And I think I've got another one right here. Yep.

Next to the refrigerator. We do the modify, use my align tool, and I want to pick that face. And so it might take some tab using, if you remember from our previous courses, that just takes some patience and then also some precise mousing to make sure you're on the right point to get that to turn the corner and pick the right face that you're looking for.
Okay. And so that's our wall base that's been added. And I encourage you to take a look at your model and make sure you've got it in all the locations where you wish to have a wall base, because it's going to show up on our elevations.
And I did include this as on the interiors work set, because it's kind of part of the walls. And so that's going to show up in all of our views.
