I’ve seen lots and lots and lots of ogee profiles out there. I’d like to make my own molding with an incorporated ogee. Does anyone know the proper dimensions and proportions of the Greek Ogee profile??
Thanks,
Scott

Scott, there's no hard and fast rule for the ogee. It occurs in all of the Greek orders, Ionic, Corinthian, Doric, and it goes by several names including ogee, cyma reversa, cyma recta and talon. The curve as used in Greek orders does not have the steps that are common to the Roman ogee.
