Hi All,
I'm looking at doing some work for a friend of mine who's a stone mason. He want's me to be able to provide renders of certain features so that he can show customers the different options.
One thing i want to do is create some standard mould profiles so that i can sweep them. (see profiles below)
However, i'm finding it quite hard to find any dimensioned profiles online. Has anybody had experience with this before or can offer additional advice/info on this?
Thanks

That is because most contractors just want the overall's
Truthfully, take a sketch pad and pencil to Home Depot and measure what you need. Or purchase a 2" long section of each to bring home and do the same. That is what I would do.

If this is just for visuals and those profiles are the ones you want. It should be easy to add that picture to a sketch and trace the profiles. There is at least one handy guide on using images as sketch references around the forum.
Those images might be all you need.
I would
place an image of one of the profiles on a sketch. Sketch a line over a known distance on the image.
Enter the known dimension for the line - the image will resize to 1:1 scale.
Start a new sketch and trace over the image. I would turn the new sketch into a Sketch Block.
Repeat for each image profile.
Once done I would delete the image sketches.
To get really sophisticated - put these profiles into Content Center for Frame Generator.
Thanks for the responses guys, much appreciated! Putting the image into a sketch didn't cross my mind for some reason Think that's probably the way forward
