Curved fascia profile

[David Bearss]

I am looking for suggestions on how to achieve the curved roof and fascia detail as shown in the attached pic. Oh, uh, without gdl if possible. I assume I would model the roof with the curved roof tool but the fascia method escapes me.

Mike,
Thank you for posting back.
I understand what you are saying now.
I thought you were saying that you could not only
make the shape curved in the XZ plane but also
in the XY plane allowing you to make trim that
would fit an arched opening in a curved wall.
I believe that CadImage's profiler can
follow a path that is curved in three dimensions.
Thanks,
Peter Devlin

Good instructions and illustration, Mike. It'll be helpful to many I'm sure!

WOW! What great replies. I have been away in meetings all day and am just picking up this thread. There are some great techniques in here to try out. This is one instance where a simple screen capture animation would be really cool to demonstrate the written descriptions. Anyway thanks for all the great suggestions. Now I just have to take the phone off the hook, lock the door and spend some time experimenting.

Also here you will find a tutorial on doing what I call a Roof Sweep.
