stevenyhof Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 I tried adding a 3 sided 3d molding to my garage opening for trim around the brick (what the client wants). but it seems to be snapping to different surfaces and gets funny, so I made a 3d molding polyline - worked perfectly for the front arch top windows. So I thought to do the same for the garage door and then just break and delete the bottom. But is there a way to break a polyline in two places and delete what you don't want?

stevenyhof Posted September 14, 2020 Author Share Posted September 14, 2020 I think I figured out how to make the 3D molding Line - I just made it small on one surface and then stretch into place. I would still like to know how to break and remove a 3D molding polyline Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rlackore Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 I have never been successful in breaking a 3D Molding Polyline, so I've always assumed it's not possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Nyhof Happy to help, Is there a reason you aren't taking advantage of the built in exterior casing? especially on the windows? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I did add the casing to the side of the window in the window DBX. But I needed an additional casing to go over the brick. I did look and try some of the options to get the casing to span over the brick but nothing I tried worked. I do have a 1" casing on the window, and then a 5.5" casing over the brick. (which is just a square 4" x 5.5" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevenyhof Posted September 14, 2020 Author Share Posted September 14, 2020 I should add that I need the white trim to also go back toward the window as shown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uncheck recessed and then you can add a stacked molding for your casing..much easier to automate this process then hand drawn. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevenyhof Posted September 14, 2020 Author Share Posted September 14, 2020 So I was able to get the depth to work and add my casing, but how did you get that "stacked molding" to work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was very helpful! I did add a thickness at one point, but it just got really thick on the outside, so I must need to mess with some of the options to get that to work. But I like the options you are also showing here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevenyhof Posted September 14, 2020 Author Share Posted September 14, 2020 I kept it recessed and then added 4" to the casing thickness as you first propose and that works perfectly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SNestor Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 @stevenyhof - I think the 3D molding polyline tool is almost impossible to work with...so time consuming trying to figure out how the molding will lay on the polyline...placing it just so. Just use a casing and move on to the next item...that's my strategy. One more way you could accomplish what you want. You could make a CAD Detail From View of the window. Trace the shape with a polyline in the CDFV...then copy it, paste and hold position on the elevation and covert it to a 3D molding polyline and attach the molding you want to use. It's still a bit cumbersome...but there you go, many ways to get what you need. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
