Adam_Gibson Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 Although the molding will only be 1/2" thick, I assume what I'm attempting is to coffer a barrel ceiling. I've tried with ceiling planes and with polyline solid. I prefer the look of the p solid because the arch can be much more fluid if I break the arch (see close up of yucky barrel just below the more fluid one). Either way, I can't figure out how to apply molding to either so it matches the arch. Heck, I wish I could just apply cabinet doors to form the arch. Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

You can use a bow front cabinet-sides and back as just openings. Delete a few surfaces in 3D, convert to a symbol and rotate the symbol. Getting the curves right is likely easier done other ways where you can use a CAD detail to get the curves. But it can be done. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eric, would you mind explaining your steps? I'm having a difficult time getting molding lines to generate in elevation view, which is where I assume you did this? Please?

Adam_Gibson Posted April 16, 2019 Author Share Posted April 16, 2019 Thanks, Eric! I'm going to try today. I really appreciate this! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam_Gibson Posted April 16, 2019 Author Share Posted April 16, 2019 I've got it! But Eric, I like the way yours looks better. Would you mind posting the plan? If not, I understand. Thanks so much! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adam_Gibson Posted April 16, 2019 Author Share Posted April 16, 2019 Thanks so much for your help. This is the idea I had in the middle of the night, and now I'm able to show my client, thanks to you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although, I couldn't figure out the part about a point marking the radius and using the Transform/Replicate to copy and rotate the p-solid about the point. I thought I had a good handle on that tool, but apparently not. Thank you so much! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam_Gibson Posted April 17, 2019 Author Share Posted April 17, 2019 I see! That's a much better method. I simply did it manually. Once I'd done the left half I copied and reflected about the center object. My method would have resulted in hair pulling if there'd been more than a couple of p-solids to manipulate. Thanks again for the lesson! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
