I could have sworn that there was something in the code requiring "smooth" transitions, but I looked and can't find it, maybe it's ADA? It does not appear to be 1½" off the wall, and the profile appears to be an older pre-graspability profile, but I am wondering why I am under the impression that transitions had to be "smooth"?
