Intersecting Crown Molding - Trimming
-
Hey All,,,,
Need a kick in the right direction....
The attachment is a drawing of crown molding around the top of a armoire. It is angled at 45 degrees and has an intersecting 45 degree angle with the other molding.
I'm successfully handling stuff like chair back crests (two arcs) and other stuff with arc/angles. I use the "intersect with selected" after placing the arcs properly. Then using the eraser and trimming. But this crown molding has thrown me.
I get very close to success, but not quite there. And what I get is no longer three different components, but one object. I understand why the three molding become one object, but just can't figure out how to trim each molding, keep it in position, and finish up with an individual piece to make back into a component. Then doing the same to the other two moldings........
Any suggestions???? Hey, thanks to all for the help with re-sizing a complete drawing, got it down..... Life is good!!

Mike, your best bet is to use the Follow Me Tool, this one...
I have attached your file with the way to use it.
Hope this helps.

cduscher,, Boofredlay,,,,
Holly Crud!!!!! Neat stuff!! Not only will this take care of "crown" it will do a bunch more for me. Boofredlay, the follow me tool does the drawing and cduscher the video takes care of breaking apart the model and making separate components.
Can't get much better!
Thank you guys,
Mike
