      Hello everyone,
      Just found this forum. I've been playing around with SU for a little while. I'm drawing a book case with cove molding around the top. I have the molding drawn and placed on the bookcase but can't figure out how to bring the corners together like a miter joint. Anybody have any ideas?
      Thanks
      Rob

        Rob are you wanting to take the moulding around three sides?
        It sounds like you need to use Follow Me.

        Place the moulding on a corner (your start point) select the three lines you require the profile to follow - Choose follow me and pick the moulding.

        If this is what you need I would be happy to create a quick tutorial for you to follow if the above does not seem to make sense.

            I thought it worked but I can only get the molding to go around 1 corner. Still need it on the other side. If it's not too much trouble a tutorial might be helpful. Thanks

                Thanks Bob. That clears things up and I see what I was doing wrong.

                  Dear Rob46,

                  My pleasure, and I also learned a new trick with the Alt key too.

                  Regards,
                  Bob
