box corners rounded

[wpickrel]

Two weeks into the Carvewright was wondering how to do rounded corners on a box., so I don't have to miter the box. Like the rounded corners on the ornamental box that comes with Carvewright. I have attempted but cant figure it out.

I use the right and left dome feature. Set a rectangle the size of the rounded area you would like and use the surface selection of a dome.
I have attached a picture of a recent box and a mpc for a box front. Also make sure you uncheck "floor Feather"... Hope this helps

Also by changing the depth and height of the dome, you can change how rounded it will be. Play around a bit and you will find what works for you....

What version of Designer do you have? Do you have the 3D Tools add on?

This looks great however I cant seem to replicate it on my own could you help with how the corners are done or the setting for the dome that would help

I don't know the box that came with your machine, so I can only tell you how I would do it. Do you plan to use butt joints? End frain will be a problem when finishing, but you can create a 3/4" wide carved out area on each end and use left or right dome. Probably put it .6 deep and a height of 999.

Clint is right about the edge grain when it comes to finishing, but the rounded corners can come out ok. I have attached a screen shot of how the mpc I posted was set up. After you set the rectangle, you can right click on it and choose select a surface. From there, find the dome options and pick either a left or right. Then choose the depth and height. anywhere from .5 and 999 to .75 and 999 will work, it is up to your taste.... Good luck

Here is what I did. Maybe this is good enough for you.

very much thank you. Sorry I am not very good with this no carpentry or wood experience at all.

[wpickrel]

forgive me but I don't know what the different types of joints are yet
