Default Placing Molding Seams?

I'm not sure what you mean. The vertical boards are now 6/6. After
hitting "send", I realized that another option for the crown molding
would be 4/4/4 rather than 2/8/2. Is that what you meant??



Fewer seams are better. Cut the joint/seam at a 45 degree angle so that if
the joint open up a bit it will not be an open hole. Also cut the 45 so
that you do not look down into the joint at that 45 degree position.
Basically have the joint point away from the normal viewing angle.
