[BY DESIGN] Friezes and Exterior Trims drawing on Interior Walls

@lansta1 Friezes and trims can intrude into the interior when the interior (or part of it) is not what the game considers a room.  This is not actually a bug but a matter of how the space is constructed.  It commonly occurs when people use fencing or half walls in the interior that connect with an exterior wall,  It can also happen when building with manual walls vs. the room or custom room tools.  On the face of it, with the way you have drawn your build in the image, I am not seeing any dead giveaway as to what has caused it in your case.  I drew a similar structure based on your image and did not have any intruding trim/friezes.  I might be able to offer suggestions if I knew the steps you took while building the structure or if you would like to upload it to the Gallery (you could just call it something like "Test Intruding Trim").  There is also more information in this thread, which also deals with undesired graphical effects when the game does not consider an area to be a room.

I think I have the problem figured out now. I went over my build and drew over top of every single wall using only the custom room tool. It seems to have set the exterior walls properly. So far the exterior trim is not protruding into the interior space anymore and my half walls are not having any negative affect either.

Thanks very much for your help!!

**UPDATE** 

The problem returned. I spent a couple of hours placing furniture in the build. Suddenly I noticed that the floor had returned in the second story of my my two story room. I deleted the floor and everything was fine until I attempted to paint the wall. As soon as I placed bricks on one wall section it deleted the roof again and the exterior trim encroached back into the building!! I'm back at square one! I can't seem to fix it!

@lansta1 have you tried drawing a flat on the area that is missing its ceiling (roof)?  Did you have bb.moveobjects turned on during any of the steps you described?  I know you are reluctant to upload the build, but if you change your mind, it might help me give you some very concrete feedback.  It would be helpful to work with it at the point before you painted the wall, in order to see that step in action.

I have uploaded the build to the community under the title "Trim Intrusion Test (BUG)"

If you would like to play around with it and see what happens with it, please feel free to do so.

I can't duplicate the glitch where painting a section of the wall after removing the floor area on the second level removed the roof.

bb.moveobjects On was enabled throughout the majority of the build process.

Let me know when you have downloaded and I will remove it from the community.

Thanks again.

@lansta1 Did you already remove the lot from the gallery?  I am not seeing it.  Perhaps you could provide me with a web link from the online gallery?  

Okay, I got it if you want to pull it off the Gallery @lansta1.  Will take a look at it & let you know what I find.

The ACTUAL answer is that you’re trying to apply a frieze to an entire room. Hold SHIFT while using the tool to apply it to a single wall. Then just apply them exactly where you want. 

This is by design, though not very intuitive. It took me months to figure it out.
