Molding Tool

Apply a molding (raised profile) along one or more edges of a panel using a profile follow-me path.

How it works

  1. Hover over a panel face — the closest edge highlights
  2. Enter shoulder values (shoulder 1 ; shoulder 2) in the VCB, then click an edge to add it to the path
  3. Continue clicking connected edges to extend the molding path
  4. Double-click to apply the molding to the entire face loop in one operation

Keys

  • Shift = Apply molding to the entire face loop (no shoulders)
  • Ctrl = Apply molding along the contour of connected panels
  • Esc = Cancel the operation

VCB input

  • On a face: shoulder_1 ; shoulder_2 — setback from each end of the edge
  • Off a face: tool_rise ; guide_forward — molding profile dimensions

Tips

  • The molding profile (rise and forward) can be adjusted before clicking any edge
  • The same molding is automatically mirrored to all identical panel instances
  • Use Shift for a closed-loop molding around the entire face perimeter
  • Use Ctrl to follow the contour across multiple adjacent panels
