ChiefUserKatie Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 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 Solution Share Posted January 6 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 Share Posted January 6 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 Share Posted January 6 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...
