Do you guys usually model rubber bases? What's the best way to do this? Wall sweeps?

Depends on the scope of work, how it's being detailed, how much base you have to display and how much of a masochist you are. If I had to model the 4" rubber base I would build it into the wall assembly and be sure that wall type was used where the base needed to be. If it was just a small amount, like a few small rectangular rooms I would just apply wall sweeps. HTH

You fell victim to one of the classic blunders. The most famous is never get involved in a land war in asia, but only slightly less well known is this! Never go in against a Sicilian when death is on the line! |

I caution you about adding the base in the wall assembly because you can not turn off a wall defined wall sweep in plan views. Most times we never model it, we just add it as detail work.

That's a good point WWHub. In this particular project it's okay, but I can think of another project I'm working on that I would not want the bases to show up. Appreciate it!

Here is what we've been doing at my office which seems to be successful for our projects: We model all our typical walls with a rubber base wall sweep on each side of the wall, offset by -0' 1/8" such that the base doesn't show up in plan but you can see it in elevation. When we need to use the wall for a soffit, we just duplicate the walltype and add suffix "- no base" to the wall name so it sorts in the model right under the same wall type with base. When a wall goes down to the foundation, or you can't see the base of the wall due to a step in the floor for instance, I use the type without base and use a wall hosted generic model called rubber base that stretches. I attached a photo that shows how we've been setting up our rubber base wall sweeps.
