    Arched surfaces range hood

    Hi,

    I'd like to inquire about creating a custom range hood in chief with arched upper front and sides, common box at the bottom and some trim details

    Any thoughts on the best way to approach this, or if someone has a detail file I can modify for my client?

    An image of what you are trying to do would be helpful. Some users may tackle this with PL solids. Others may tell you to do it in Sketchup. Maybe parts could be done with cabinets. Like I said, an image would be very helpful.

    Thanks Curtis, attached is a photo from my client. She is interested in a custom hood with the arched surfaces and the original cabinetmaker is out of business, so I'm going to build one for her. I'd like to create the arched panels, which I have not done in Chief yet.

    Thanks Louis,
    I did go to Trimble 3D Warehouse and found several wood hoods as you referred from Sketch-Up. Just have to convert the appropriate one for modification.
    I appreciate the help guys!
