Vinyl Fluted Corner Boards

[buzartiano]

Anyone know how to make exterior vinyl fluted corner boards? 5 1/2" wide both sides?  Thanks in advance

It would be pretty easy if Chief allowed us to pick a Molding Shape but currently the only shape is just a rectangle.

For now the only option to get something like that is by creating a CAD Detail.

Same way you would do it when auto corner boards don't work but a little more effort involved to create the fluted profile.  Polyline solid is my method.

 

Personally I would not worry about the unseen parts of the profile or the cad detail if you can provide the manufactures code and color in a note.

Or, you could draw the shape with cad and then save to the library.

Then use a Molding Polyline using your new molding.

The thing I don't like about moldings for a situation like that is there is no 2D representation, without independently placing a molding profile ?

 

Perhaps create the molding profile so it can be kept in the library then drop it in place and convert to a Polyline Solid or in X14 a 3D Solid.

I would use a slab.  I noticed a 3D Solid has a major lag in plan view with just one copy on my machine.  I have blocked this so it could be added to the library.  To use: place, unblock, edit if desired, copy, paste, point to point into position.
