curved moulding

[Brushpark]

Is there a way to curve this White River 3d moulding around the base of the window apron? I downloaded the 3d model off the white river site and added this to my library.
Thanks again,
Tom

Use the Convet To Symbol tool and then apply it to a molding polyline.

Glenn, can't you only assign a molding profile to a molding polyline?

[Glenn Woodward]

Tommy,

We have 3D moldings as well as 2D molding profiles.

You can assign a 3D molding to a polyline if you save it as a Molding type symbol from a 3D view.

Here is a row of cabinets that is actually a 3D symbol applied to a molding polyline. This was created from one cabinet, converted to a 3D Symbol (Molding type) and then applied to a polyline.

Have a look at the 3D Moldings that come with the 3D Molding Bonus Catalog - or just create your own.

Sorry Glenn, I have no idea what I was thinking about.

Sorry Glenn, I have no idea what I was thinking about.

Tommy,

That's OK - because I had no idea what I was thinking about either!

But, it won't "bend" the 3D molding into an actual curve. It will be segmented/faceted, which probably isn't the intention. Pretty tough to do a curved/carved molding like that in the real world.

The bending is the problem, if you send White River Hardwoods the size of the curve, the moulding could be manufactured in their ultra flex resin depending on the size of the curve. Without calling White River, I can't be sure this would be the case with the moulding I would like to bend. Why can't I keep it simple????

I have installed curved crown molding before. It was made of a rubber compound and it was flexible. Obviously it is for painting, not staining.

You would be amazed at how some of the flexible products stain up using gel stain or faux finishes to look like wood.
