RHDesigns Posted October 30, 2019 Share Posted October 30, 2019 I would like to know if someone can direct me as to how to create a crown molding detail ... I have builders who have requested this due to the trim carpenters making mistakes during installation and it is costing him tons in crown repurchase to correct the mistakes . I design 100% custom so I can adjust top rail sizes , add stop molding and use various size crown molding and would like to be able to show the cad detail for the different installs. Attached is a hand drawn example of what I would like to do in Chief Page 6 of drawings is what I am looking for and if possible the hood page as well Thanks CHOVART FINAL DRAWINGS 09-26.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chopsaw Posted October 30, 2019 Share Posted October 30, 2019 You can also pull profiles from the User Catalog or Core Catalog by right clicking and using the option to "Place Molding Profile" which could save you some time unless everything you do is custom.

RHDesigns Posted October 30, 2019 Author Share Posted October 30, 2019 Thanks to all ...... I will get to work on this ! Normally quality Trim Carpenters figure this out but seems these days skilled labor is impossible to find and contractors hire the cheapest cabinet monkey they can find ! Go figure order custom cabinets and hire low skill labor !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tommy1 Posted October 30, 2019 Share Posted October 30, 2019 Very easy to create using the molding profile of the crown mold then simply add to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kbird1 Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 What Greg meant was go here ..... at least for Brosco Moldings.......... https://www.brosco.com/resource-center/cad-drawings/ if they aren't in the Brosco Chief Catalog already? Chief Library is here : https://www.chiefarchitect.com/3d-library/index.php?r=site/detail/977 New England and Windsor1 also have libraries but also not Complete Catalogs https://www.chiefarchitect.com/3d-library/index.php?r=site/detail/712 https://www.chiefarchitect.com/3d-library/index.php?r=site/detail/713 M. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
