        Thanks for the great moldings very useful. One question though. If I want to measure the radius of any of the moldings, how would I go about that. I have tried and cannot get a radii measurement. Thanks

          woodtogo, since all of the edges of the profiles have been welded together, the curves are no longer arcs so there's no radii to measure. You could use the yellow Tape Measure tool and guidelines to work out the radius of the various curves if you need them. You could also trace the arc portions of the molding profile and create arcs you can dimension.

            Ray, I use Chris Fullmer's Exploded Arc Centerpoint Finder plugin all the time. It works great.
            Of course you would have to explode the arc so you can select two lines but then you could just weld them together again.

                You have made me all happy with this, but now I have a question. If I find a profile that works perfectly in the remodel I'm doing, do I then need to take it to a place that does custom millwork and have new knives made? or did these all come from one place that I could go to and order moulding? I saw that Forrester was mentioned in the initial post. Does anyone know if the profiles came from the mouldings supplied by that company?

                With many thanks,
                Banty

                        Wow, just this one thread has a few people that are missed around here.

                        rhankc - 300+ posts - hasn't posted in almost a year.

                        Juju - 1100+ posts - has not posted in nearly a year

                        PKast - over 100 posts, has only posted 2 times this year

                        Firkins - 70+ posts, has not posted for 2.5 years also.

                        I guess people sort of come and go. Perhaps they <shutter at the thought> have real lives outside of SketchUp? 😄 Anyhow, it was good to see you around. I hope is well with work and with your spine - that is a generally useful thing to keep in good working order.

                            Hello Chris. Yes time does fly. In the past 2.5 years I had a job change, 2 computer melt downs and spine surgery but I am back up and running now. 😄

                                Hey ron,
                                This can be very useful for profile builder. I don't have it, but I think you can use these files very well.

                                  I think they are indeed (somehow) included in the PB pack. Indeed very useful set (and great plugin also)

                                    I know I'm really late to this party, but here goes. When I try to use these profiles in SU8 my Push/Pull tool has a red circle and bar telling me I 'can't do that'. What am I missing? 😢

                                      Hi Jim,

                                      It can mean two things (basically):

                                      • your profile is inside a group/component. Note that you cannot use the PP tool in this case: you will need to enter the group's editing context (double click) to access the face
                                      • your profile is a curved surface with softened edges. See if there is any hidden geometry showing if you turn them on under View menu
                                        There are other occasions, too, i none of the above apply, please, attach an example file.

                                      Gai...

                                        Jim, in the case of these molding profiles, Csaba's first statement is the one that applies. You must open the group (the molding profiles are all groups at least in the Astragal's file) for editing before you can modify it. It's kind of silly that they are groups. If they were components they could be more easily saved for later use

                                            When I use these profiles I tend to open the group and copy the profile then close the group and paste the profile to where I want it.
                                            This leaves the original undisturbed, and the profile free to push pull etc.
