Trouble creating rounded molding.
-
Push-pull will probably get stuck at the mitres.
There's more than one way of doing this. Here's one way. Draw a rectangle on the square end of one of your mouldings, so that it's perpendicular to the length. Draw your profile on that with the arc and delete the parts you don't need.
Draw 3 lines, one for each section. Select these lines, activate Follow Me, click on the face. It will form all 3 in one click.
If you share your SketchUp file here, we could show you how to do it on your model.

That's real cool!
I would be more than happy to share the file, although I'm not sure how i do that?
I have 2 files, the first I created a roundover, the second I started because I logged in at work and couldn't find my original file so i started new and created a cove, both obviously getting hung up at the same point. -
You can share the file by clicking on the Upload Attachment tab below the reply window.

It Looks like the upload is for files stored on my computer, I am using the free web based version of sketchup, and my files are in trimble connect. I can'r figure out how to link them here, nor how to download the file to my pc to upload. Any Thoughts?

Click on the file folder icon near the top left and choose Download to get it to your computer.

Click the folder icon, click Download then choose the version. Choose the oldest one (2017) so more people will be able to open it.

Would it help to take a look at the process together?
