ChiefUserKatie Posted January 6, 2025 Share Posted January 6, 2025 Hello! Does anyone know of a good way to model this roof cornice detail in chief? Best idea I can come up with is a polyline distribution path, but am hoping there's an easier way. Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solution robdyck Posted January 6, 2025 Solution Share Posted January 6, 2025 You could use a molding assigned to the frieze for the roof planes. If I were doing that, I'd probably assign 2 separate moldings as a frieze: one for the crown and one for the dentil molding. You may be able find a dentil molding that is close enough, although you might just want to make your own. Take a look at the dentil moldings in the library, and that should give you some visual cues. You can convert a 3d object or symbol into a molding.

ericepv Posted January 6, 2025 Share Posted January 6, 2025 Ditto what Rob suggested. If you can't find a molding to your liking in the Chief Library, check out these on 3D Warehouse... https://3dwarehouse.sketchup.com/search/models?q=dentil+molding Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robdyck Posted January 6, 2025 Share Posted January 6, 2025 Its also worth mentioned that a molding or polyline distribution will almost certainly not create perfect spacing of the corbels in the dentil molding. With a polyline distribution path, you can use separate lines on each side of a gable and adjust the starting offset. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
