Hi everyone, I am having a little issue trying to use followme to wrap a molding around a round corner. Please see pics attached as to what I am trying to do. I am working on a bed concept and I want to cap the footboard and rails with a nice half round molding as pictured in the attached screen shots. I have a feeling its an easy thing I am just not doing right?? šŸ™‚ Thank you gang!

Are you selecting the curve first before clicking the FollowMe tool icon? It should work fine. Otherwise provide a bit more detail on the process you are using. See below: ![followme-corner](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/sketchup/original/3X/2/6/266b219add1d1d57d87505490fb3bf459f4ad51d.gif) ---

Thank you Eric! Not sure what I was doing wrong?? Is there a way to correct this little face issue? And is there a way to make this molding look like 2 pieces so when I stain it i can get the grain running the right way? If this bed goes into production it would have to be 2 pieces with a mitered corner I think? Thank you sooo much!!

For the hole, you could try patching quickly using ā€˜Sandbox From Contoursā€™ā€¦or try the DaveR Method of scaling up this portion of the model by say 10 or moreā€¦then running the previous ā€˜followmeā€™ step again to see if that resolves it. ![patchhole](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/sketchup/original/3X/0/1/011b336976e4ce92a08e06aeee0281a13d3a7285.gif) Speaking of @DaveR, wood grain and joints are his specialty so Iā€™ll see if he wants to weigh in on your other questions. ---

FollowMe does not do a clean job when the radius of the fillet is the same as the radius of the corner so that the inside radius becomes zero. There is a rather complicated technical explanation. You can get a better result by using the FollowMe to make a fully circular ā€œdonutā€ shape and cutting away from that the parts you donā€™t need. Take care that the segment counts match. ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/sketchup/original/3X/c/1/c1464278bcabb1facd101c16c90851adcdfc583d.png) ---

eric, thanks for the input! But, how did you get the trim to be 3 pieces? šŸ™‚ thank you! Jay ---

Is the molding going to be applied to the legs and rails or are the pieces going to be rounded over? ![Screenshot - 12_30_2019 , 7_30_55 PM](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/sketchup/original/3X/0/3/0329cfb323a9d8011134e282e1b405817636e2c3.png) ---

Thanks Dave! I think rounded over will be the best choice! Did you use the fredo extension for that? Thanks again! Jay ---

No. I just used Follow Me. I suppose I could have used Round Corner or FredoCorner but since you asked about Follow Me, thatā€™s what I used. ---
