Molding Profiles
-
How are people setting these up for use?
I have taken the whole group of a kind and rotated them to their most likely real world orientation. Then I make a component of each individual profile and save them in component folder hierarchy.
I'm having trouble with the indidual profile components having a different orientation than I gave the group.

-
if you look inside the .zip files, they are already sketchup files. try it.

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. -
Thank you Ron for this excellent library. Absolutely amazing

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,
