The profile around a door is from about 15 minutes in that video.

Another method is to trace the shape of your opening with a fill, cut and paste the fill it into the plan.
Create a complex profile wall or beam with the profile shape you want.
Place this wall or beam around the fill in the plan.
Select the walls/beams and convert to a morph.
Now you can rotate it in 3D so it stands up and move it to your opening.

Use the morph-tool and draw it into your wall opening.
Made a video of it.
