Insert Profile - Select Geometry

Now we select the geometry to position the lower and upper frame members. For the lower frame members:

  1. Select the four lower edges. Ensure that the first selection matches the image, as indicated by the cursor.
  2. Set the orientation indicator as shown.
  3. Select 0.00 deg in the Angle field.

    The design intent is that the inside surfaces of the L-channels are flush with the solid. Since the channels are 5 mm thick, they must be offset 5 mm.

  4. Enter -5 mm in the Horizontal Offset and Vertical Offset fields.
  5. Click Apply. The Create New Frame dialog box appears.
  6. Click OK.

For the upper frame members.

  1. Select the four upper edges. Ensure that you select the left end of the first line, as shown.
  2. Click Apply.
  3. Change the graphics display to the Shaded visual style.
