    I've created a mirror with frame using a polyline solid (mirror) and a 3D molding polyline (frame):

    When I rotate around the X axis to tilt the mirror, the molding on the 3D molding polyline gets all wonk:

    Currently I'm not smart enough to figure out how to achieve what I want with Chief's current tools. It would be nice if Chief had more options for controlling the behavior of extrusions along a path.

    If you convert that to a symbol then you can rotate it as you like with no ill effects.
