      I worked on joinery company and most of the time offset or copying lines can outline the groove. and do a joint-push pull all at the same time.

      Once one groove is outlined, copy or array to as many as required. quick select by doing a crossing in parallel front or side view. then joint push-pull to give it a uniform recess.

      this works with curved faces as well.

        Seems multiface-offset by Remus + inverse selection by Tig

        • Joint PushPull by fredo 6 can make some tricks in 3 clicks 😉

        Windowizer would do it with one OK click (bonus: material separation)

          Has this been solved with a plugin yet? If so could someone kindly point me to the download? Thank you!

            If you look back in the thread a few ideas were discussed. Profile builder for one. There's not a one-shot solution, I don't think. What I was imagining was more of line(s) on surface(s) , select,run ruby, default setting box (depth and width), OK, and --boom --grooves in surface(s), no cleanup or other steps to do.

              IMO The lack of efficient rock solid groove maker is one of the narrowest bottle necks (in SU-ArchViz field). I requested it over 9000 times here and there but no luck. Would gladly buy it for sure.

                    None of mentioned above work with preselected edges (THE only edges I want to be grooved).
                    The only combo that more or less 'holds the water' is S4U Frame Maker+ Booltools 2,
                    but still, there's a lot of space for improvement.

                          About the first post #1
                          If you copy the original component, launch the plug Inflator, Copy in Place then explode...
                          Seems you must have the result asked ?
