All three edges should be considered to ensure the desired visual appearance. Roundovers can be combined with more ornate edge profiles. A roundover can soften the bottom horizontal edge and vertical corners of any edge profile Grothouse provides. A roundover applied to the top and bottom can create a bullnose.
