      I do a lot of interior architect work and I find that one of the most tedious things is making the moldings, especially the base boards. I usually have to make a profile and place copies where the edges would be interrupted by doorways and openings and do followme one area at a time. It's simple but time consuming.

      I been thinking of learning how to make a script for this operation to make my life easier. I imagine clicking the edges where I want moldings and then clicking on a plugin from the the menu where I can choose a profile type and set parameters such as height and thickness similar to the lattice maker and get instant moldings on the highlighted edges.

      I never did coding before but I'm willing to learn but don't know where to start. Is this idea even possible to do? Any help is appreciated.
