Making simple flutes (cabinet & wall covers)

Hi!

I'm working with CI Cabinet Tools and trying to model a custom fluted cabinet. I managed to create a basic cabinet with straight wood tambour, but I’m struggling with the fluting.

I attempted to achieve the effect by creating a slab and using the Fillet/Chamfer tool, which seemed like the easiest, most intuitive approach. However, instead of applying the curve where I need it, it modifies the opposite edge (even in 3D view). I also tried adjusting it in the 3D view without the fillet/chamfer but Archicad seems to restrict where I can place the angles.. I don't understand the limitations in such a robust software. I also don't want to go back to revit or sketchup to do this simple thingsince I already am on subscription on archicad. 

 

Does anyone have advice on how to properly model fluted details in Archicad? Example below

Other than details if for some reason you are doing full cabinetry detailing and are needing to draw every flute, a texture will be substantially more efficient. For rendering you can include a Displacement Map which will create facet free curves when rendered.
