Corner intersections of molding can be quickly created by extruding the same
shape in two different directions and then joining the two objects. First, draw the
molding profi Then, copy and rotate the profile file. to orient the local Z axis in the fi
desired direction, Figure 8-35A. Next, extrude the two profiles the desired lengths, fi
Figure 8-35B. Finally, union the two extrusions to create the mitered corner molding,
Figure 8-35C.
