Question for DaveR or any other Sketchup wizards

[Slim]

Whenever i use the 'Follow Me' tool to put a round over or ogee profile on the edge of a table top for example, I get a small cut out like this.

I do it by drawing the 2d shape of the profile I want on one of the sides, select the four sides of the table top, click follow me and then click the profile I have drawn.

Am I doing something wrong? If not is there something I can do to get rid of this? I have tried tracing over the cut out shape and then erasing the sides, which works but the shape is still noticable.

I hope this makes sense.

Thanks

Simon,

You are not doing anything wrong. Due to some form of mis-coding deep in the heart of SU these things tend to happen with small detail.

The work-round is to make it big detail. Scale your pieces up with the scale tool (10 or 100 times), do the Follow Me, then scale them back down again.

Thanks Nick, I'll give it a try.
