How can I make a frame with a profile

Anonymous

Hi All

 

I want to create a frame that has a profile, like a picture frame with 90 degree corers.  I know how to make a round one but how would you make a square one?

 

Thanks

An easy way, start a sketch from the sketch menu pick centre rectangle and create 2 rectangles using the same centre.

I hand figured that bit out, but I want the frame sides to have a profile like a picture frame.

for example cut youre frame in half and look at the exposed end it will be square I want it to have a shape like the cross section of a picture frame , an I bar or even a round bar.

You might get what you want using Sweep draw 2 sketches, one a rectangle to use as a path and one a cross section.
