For even the most complicated miters you should give the good 'old Lofter a try: Create the profile(s) and the room's/building's perimeter in AutoCAD, export them to the Shaper and Lofter respectively and there ya go – a perfect molding, cornice, wall section, or what ever that wraps around/within the building – perfect miters every time and just as accurate as AME since you created the profile and path in AutoCAD (just a whole lot faster with a lot of time remaining to try more variations and options). Now Roof forms – those can be a time consuming. After looking at FACADE a little closer today I would say that it holds a lot of promise in this area as one of its features.
