Profile

Start with a tested recipe. Standard profiles use a practical 25 mm depth, larger profiles use 40 mm, and canvas-fit profiles retain their required depth. Every value remains editable below.

Surface decoration

Use either decoration method by itself, or combine them. Repeating relief covers the rail surface; motifs and corner ornaments add larger source-defined details and do not require repeating relief.

Repeating surface relief Cover the rail face with one of 51 production-qualified repeating patterns. 51 patterns

Optional. Enable this for a repeating pattern, or leave it off and use motifs and corner ornaments independently below.

Production scope: qualified ordinary profiles with rail or welded-frame output, independent or combined decorations, optional outside/rear-wall continuation, multiband/per-rail layouts, and SCAD-snap rail composition. Real Float uses repeating relief only. Cam-arm retention is supported with separate ordinary-profile rail output. Extenders, strips, square pegs, and assembled-frame cam sockets remain blocked with decoration; smooth fallback is prohibited.
