Need help with milling lumber.

Hello,
I need help with milling lumber. We do a lot of counter top nosing and radius base moldings on our CNC router. Before we got TopSolid we were milling a reference board out of MDF and screwing lumber to it for our parts. We were doing this with AutoCad. I want to know an easy way of routing radius lumber with critical glue joint locations. What I mean is, we glue our lumber together and layout were our glue joints are to keep seems inline with each other for a more professional look. I want to do the same thing with TopSolid. Does anyone have any ideas on this. The only way I can think of is to Make a 3d model of our reference boards and attach lumber. But that seems like a lengthy process.
Thanks
