    molding polyline around inside corner

    How can I make a molding polyline go around an inside corner. (or outside as well) See in the picture that there are two separate lines. Didn't I see something on this recently??

    I think it needs to be a 3d molding pline............ I have had mixed results with this, bottom line I think it is doable. I did some videos on 3d molding plines.

    The videos we watch are not 100% gold, but if we find a gold nugget, the time spent viewing has a value.

    We can please some of the people some of the time, but we can't please all the people all of the time..... but I will keep trying.

    It's easy to do this with a 3D molding polyline. Draw it around the corner in plan view and break it where you want it to turn down. In an elevation, drag it down. Very easy.

    Ah Ha. Didn't try that combination. Thanks Tommy!
    However, now looking at the results it seems I might have
    to do it with PS's and separate vertical PS's so I can miter the tile
    joint. I did this years ago for my own bath render. Still good to know
    how to do waht I asked for!

    Thanks again.

    You're welcome Dennis. In general for me, I only use 3D molding polylines as a last resort. They do have their advantages in certain situations like this. I think they're hard to work with for you have to move it separately everywhere there's a break. What a pain. They also don't really show in plan view either except as a line which is hard to see. You can move it in plan view too but a standard molding polyline is MUCH easier to work with.
