Has anyone added crown or any molding to the Globals to be selected in extruded crown molding?
See pictures attached. Typically we have a mitered valance on our talls and uppers and if the customer is doing crown, this is what it attaches to.

This happened as well on single doors but the finished edge reveals basically turned to “0”. The only good explanation is variance in the manufacturing of the RPC 5-knuckleNext Page
