Sloping Profiler

[Scott Bulmer]

I seem to have forgotten how to make a sloping profile. Can someone please advise me before I kill myself.
Thanks, as usual.

Peter/Richard,
From your explanation, I now understand the issue of joining molding when slopes collide. The intricate profile sections shown in your graphic clearly illustrate this. AFA making details work in the field; to some extent the carpenters use some level of artistic license, and maybe cement plaster hides their sins.

In the attached photos, I think the sloping or rake cornice must be
taller in dimension for the bottom to align with that of the eave cornice.

Thanks again for the great explanations.

I finally got around to experimenting with complex profiles
to model a raking molding mitered to a eave molding.
Using the construction method for drawing the profile
of a raking molding described in Architectural Graphic Standards
classical orders and detail. It worked out quite well. see attached.

Many thanks Peter, the effort you put in with added graphics is excellent.
The old tale about a picture etc.

Hello Rod,
Thank you. All I have to do now is figure out
why and how this method works. It is not a simple
vertical scaling as far as I can tell because
I tried to make two moldings that I had made
as library parts with a mulz parameter miter
with a plumb cut but it was not correct.
See my previous post on this thread.

Peter,

This method is call Projection.

Both the moldings share a common cutting plane. For proper connection, the projection of both profiles onto the cutting plane must be identical.

Hello Howard,
I believe I understand the two facts you have stated.
Do you see a problem with the miter of the
two beams shown in my image ?
Thank you,

Try Objective to make it happen with the split tool; fast.

Hello Joseph,
Does Objective allow you to see the code that
creates the object ?
Thank you,

Yes it does yet I suggest getting in contact with Ralph at http://www.encina.co.uk/objective.html to get good info. he is very good.
