be sure to specify which way to place your molding style

cove down-which is the most common orientation, if not stated otherwise, this would be the default orientation we would use in designing your application  

bead up or down-in place of a cove

detail up or down-
another way to state orientation

*if in doubt send us a drawing of your crown orientation 

• In Crown and Dormer Applications (also some Custom Pre-formed Applications) it's important to state which way the curve of your application bends. ISR (inside radius)  or OSR (outside radius).
   
  • ISR (concave) : Imagine trimming the inside a barrel, or  a ball.
  • OSR (convex) :Imagine trimming the outside of a barrel or a ball.

Case Orientation:

thick edge outside-  
which would be the usual way we would bend your design if not stated in your order otherwise

thick edge inside-in some instances your design may call for the thick edge of your molding profile to be placed to the inside of the curve. 

bent on face-this orientation applies the same as the ISR definition, when you need to bend your molding to fit an inside radius curve. 

bent on back-this orientation applies the same as the OSR definition, when you need to bend your molding to fit an outside radius curve. 

In Casing Applications, it's important to select whether to bend the molding on its edge (as in true radius applications) or on its face or back (as in straight applications).

Define the orientation of the molding to the curve:

• TEO: The thickest edge of the molding faces the outside of the curve. This is the most common orientation.
  
• TEI: thick edge inside.  
  Reverse of TEO

Panel/stucco Orientation:

notched edge inside-to fit an application that calls for the notch or key to be placed toward the inside of the curve

notched edge outside-to fit an application that calls for the notch or key to be placed toward the outside of the curve

• NEO: notch edge outside. This is used to describe moldings with notches or keys such as rabbeted panel mold and stucco molding.
  
• NEI: notch edge inside. 
  Reverse of NEO.

Definitions:

• Diameter - The width of a circle at the center.
• Radius - The measurement from the exact center to the outside or circumference. Half the diameter.
• Width-The measurement of the area to be trimmed at its widest point.
• Rise-The measurement from the imaginary line, which is the width to the top of the curve.
