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
• Partial entry: a parameter left empty keeps its current value — 12 changes only the 1st parameter, ;0.2 only the 2nd.

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
