I think I brought it out a little too far. And it looks like it's beveled on the end and we can simulate that by first using the offset tool, O and offsetting the edges in a short distance and then I'll draw line segments connecting these points, press the space bar and then L, click those two points, press the space bar and then L again down here to create the geometry necessary to allow us to pull this forward. Now I can double click on this surface, use the move tool and move that forward a little bit. And that will create this beveled look. Now I'll press the space bar, triple click on this surface to select all contiguous and let's make that a component called DecorativeBeamEnd and let's…
