MarkMc Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 Depends- First with full arch was a quicky since the cabinets with cureve were existing and doing a favor to add the dark corner cabinets. Used an arched door way, fiddled with walls, forced cabinets in place, converted from a cad detail to create the molding. Second is not curved top but gets the idea- how it would be done IRL by adding a pediment at the top- make a custom symbol, that's what is on the top of this cabinet. Third and plan slapped together as principle if you needed curved doors as well. Custom door (stretch plane defined to prevent height resize), mess with the cabinet and add a custom pediment at the top. Arch door.plan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RGAID1 Posted November 21, 2017 Author Share Posted November 21, 2017 I'm trying to create an arch top similar to this. See attached. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ridge_Runner Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 I did one similar to this a couple of years ago. I think I used polyline solids and 3d molding lines for the custom head and trim. I would probably create the front in a CAD detail and copy the linework to create the components and then convert to the 3D elements. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkMc Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 This should get you started. Began with a line, determine points for curve and add breaks, check the dimensions, convert to curve. Then add sides and bottoms till it is a polyline. Copy in place, move one copy disconnect everything but the curve. Convert the curve to 3d molding line. Convert the polyline to a Psolid. Mess with the sides of the moldings (tip add break points first) Scroll work is in library. If you want beaded inset and chamfers I've posted stuff on that in symbols a while back- not for the faint hearted that bit.. Have fun. This took under 15 minutes but expect to spend a lot more time if just learning this stuff. Save often!! Curved top.plan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJSpud Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 Chief has a video for creating a custom cabinet over a range/hoodfan (I think) which you should look for a watch ... with an arched top very similar to your image. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
