What is the best way to apply a wainscot to the surface of wall. Should I use the host sweep command or build it into the wall type using a profile to sweep the wall? Which one and why?
Thank you
Justin

if you build it into the wall type you can fix the height from the top or bottom of the wall
and if the wall should change the wainscot will adjust.
i don't know if this is possible with a host sweep, but if it is, you would have to set this fix height on each project as oppose to already having it defined in the wall style.
best regards,

Up untill now I've always created this type of detail as a sweep. The only issue is that your design should be at a point where the walls are not going to move. Not that you can't fix your sweep if the wall moves, but if you're putting in this much detail one would expect that the walls are set.
I never tried to add a profile to a wall, but its a good option, and it the wall moves your detail is sure to move with it.

definately do the sweep in the wall design, cuts itself for doors & windows. I loaded the "brick soldier course", edited the family for a 3' height and put it in wall design

I agree with coreed. A wall type is the best solution. Unless of course that you do not intend to adjust your height. But for me to adjust the height or not I will still use the wall type! You'll never know when your client or your boss suddenly decide on adjusting it. Kinda long to do but it's worth it.

I have created the wainscotting by using the sweep and editting the type to 3" like drock1627 had explained.
Now I am having trouble getting the sweeps to snap together in the corners making the 45 degree corner. Does anyone know a tool i can use to make the horizontal and verticle wall sweeps snap together in the 4 corners to make essentially a rectangle or square?

You say you did like drock1627 described but he only described sweeps in wall definitions - not in-place wall sweeps. There are no vertical sweep definitions in walls so those must be in-place. These two will probably never join as you would like. The wall defined sweep will miter correctly at intersecting wall corners.
An image of what you are trying to do would help.

Download this family. It's fully parametric and works very well.
