They are called Baseboards in Sweet Home 3D. Look at the modify dialog of a wall. There you can add and modify a baseboard.

hi. There are several ways to add a baseboard in the program. One of them is to make a skirting board in the form of a thin long box, for example, 7cm high and 1.5 cm thick. You need to assign a texture or color to all visible sides. Enable the Magnet option and glue these baseboard boxes to the walls. The inner corners turn out by themselves, and the outer outer corners need to be carefully connected and aligned. And the main method is embedded in the program itself, look in the wall or floor settings, I don't remember. There's a very normal skirting board.

@GaudiGalopin3324 we added our answer at exactly the same second [:))]

@Karolita GaudiGalopin3324 is correct in the alternative way to add a baseboard with a separate box. The native way has the advantage that the baseboards stretch and move with the wall. You can always enhance the baseboard with custom created molding at the top and bottom.

Have you tried the Moulding plugin along with the dedicated library? Or the MBC (M for Moulding) plugin, which also adds corners?
