Hi,
I’m trying to replicate a molding to put on a door. I’ve been able to design a “profile” of the molding but I’m having trouble using the Follow Me tool to make a curved molding. It works fine when I do a straight Push/Pull of my profile or when I use the Follow me on a straight line but I ended up with part missing when I try to follow me on a circle.
I’ve put an example in attachment.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you

Also consider the segment count of the arcs in your profile, which contribute to a lot of superfluous geo. Your original with no edits, merely scaled up 10x so that Follow Me doesn’t break anything:
You can easily tweak around with different segment counts by selecting individual arcs and going to Entity Info
Also be aware, when using follow-me with arcs, the arc tools will not provide you a perpendicular starting segment by default. Your path is a prime example. This causes Follow Me to “move” your starting face, producing a non-square face which is not adequate to, for example, rotate-copying 90° x3 to make a circle.
Many thanks for those great and detailed explanations/suggestions.
The internet is for sure a better place with people such as you!
Thanks
