What's the trick to creating nice clean moldings on a curved wall? I've tried all the regular tricks for the moldings - Extrude Along Path, Sweep, and Loft. Loft was the cleanest option and is shown in my example image. If you look at the baseboard you can see that the faceting in the wall and the faceting of the loft (which is very slight) are offset creating a very messy join. I created the loft by extracting the bottom curve of the wall for the rail.
This is clearly a curved wall issue. I'm using the wall for its hybrid feature. If I build the wall geometry from scratch I don't have this issue and my geometry matches much better. The faceting is also more pronounced as the radius of the wall increases. In this example the radius is about 60'. My 2d and 3d conversion resolutions are set to very high.
Also, is there a known issue with walls un-joining from each other when they are made into a symbol?
