interior trim vertical & horizontal

Tom Krowka

Am trying to make a rectangle outlined in an interior trim profile. I can make the trim run horizontally without a problem (profile is a beam). However, I can't make the beam go 90 vertically however (only allowed to go to 89 degrees vertical). I can make the vertical legs as a column, but I can't get the mitered corners to work. Have tried SEO but nothing seems to work.
Thought about using the shell tool on a flat xy plane, then create a GSM to stand it up in Z axis, but can't get that to work either.

Any ideas on how to do this? I would look like the architrave element in AV library, but with a different trim profile.

Thanks. Tom

Have you tried the old Profiler add-on ?
It works for me to accomplish moldings
going around openings . It makes a complete
shape with mitered corners. No need for several pieces.

Or a custom profile applied to a beam or wall laid flat and then rotated and saved as a library part.
