    3D Mitered polyline issue?

    I can easily draw a 3D molding polyline at an acute angle when the miter is pointing to the right.

    There appears to be a probrem when I try to draw a 3D molding polyline acutely mitered to the left. Chief inverts the molding, and faces the molding into the wall. This cannot be corrected with the "inside" check box in the DBX.

    There is no apparent problem left or right at an obtuse or 90 degree angle

    I have attached a picture of a miter pointing left, but notice the orientation of the molding that it takes to make this happen.

    I've got my molding butting the ceiling the way I want it, but now I've got a problem with the return at the other end.

    I can solve that by simply using a new molding with normal orrientation for the return. Since it will be a right end when it turns back to the sloped ceiling I shouldn't have a problem.
