The Coving Tool

Apply coving to a room. This tool expands the flooring material so that it extends up the wall by a specified amount.

How To:

1. Select a room. If coving should only be applied to certain sides of the room, select the sides now by Ctrl+Click-ing each one.

2. Click on the the Coving tool. A dialog box will pop up with options for adding coving.

 Tip: If one or more sides have been selected the option for Selected Edges will automatically be applied.

3. Next:

  • Specify the coving width.
  • Select where coving should be applied.

  • Choose whether coving should be applied to transition areas.
  • Indicate whether or not to create scrap pieces. This option creates scrap pieces to fully cover inside corners. Since these scrap pieces are generally small and have a marginal impact on material usage, you have the option of suppressing their creation altogether.

4. When all of your selections have been made select OK.  

 Tip: Changes to coving options can be made by selecting a room and then selecting the coving tool, or by right clicking a room and then selecting the coving tool. Any adjustments will be reflected after clicking the OK button in the coving dialog box.

  • An option to have different height ICB/Cove in the same room would be helpful. Example: I want 6" on some walls but 8" on others. There doesn't appear to be a way to just adjust the height of select walls without deleting all other ICB/Coving. To be fair it doesn't happen super often, but it would be nice.
