Is it possible to extrude a shape along a curved path?
I need to make a round window molding in 4 sections, but I'm finding extrude only seems to extrude along a fixed vertical path inside a closed shape. Is this all it will do?

I think you'll need to try sweep.
thanks so much!

Will that allow an exact width/height profile along a curved path?

Did a quick experiment to see if I could do the pattern with the precision that was specified. Blender is not CAD so takes a bit more attention to detail.
I uploaded to a card to see the carving times and holy cow those are long carving times.
I ordered some 1/8 long bullnose bits for some deeper carvings I was thinking of making but after seeing the carve times I may reconsider. Do deep carvings always take this long to carve? Is there something I am doing wrong?
