    Issue with a frieze board and curved roof

    I am having a consistent issue with adding a freize board to a curved roof. The freize board wants to segment (see the attached image). I am using a basic base molding from the CA library and the size, thickness or type of molding has no affect. Any ideas?

    Not at the computer, bit I think I recall being able to set a curve segment angle in the dialog box. Set it to a small angle (i.e. Chief will create more facets in the curve) and the fascia will improve.
    I'll confirm I'm not making this all up when I can start up Chief again.

    It's on the General Tab, "Facet Angle" setting
    On my project 3 was the magic number to make the frieze appear correct.
