- TabandSlot.com In this video I talk about normalizing the cut and why it's so important. Also I share one really cool "cheat" to get the job done. Make sure and check out my website for tons of useful info about tube and fixture design. http//daveiago.com
How did you close up the slot you added when you split the part open before converting to sheet metal? Neither extrusions appear to be working without adding a sketch over the face.
can you explain or share this 3D in .sldprt?? i really need to understand what command you used to get a normalized surface just with 1 click.
is there anyway I can fill a gap in the round tube after i convert it into sheet metal ? the filling gap method seems only work on square tube ?
Great videos! I'm surprised that there are no decent functions in SW for this. It also seems to work if you model your tube as a surface model (with the cuts) and then use the "thicken" function to make it a solid body with normalized cuts.
Doing a zero-offset of the inside/outside surface of the tube (depending on which side of the tube the features are critical on) and then using the Thicken feature on the resulting surface is the much more accurate and correct method of doing this. The Thicken feature will always produce solid geometry normal to the profile. Also, that method will work regardless as to how the features were added to the tube.
You save lives
this works only on simple cuts and simple tubes, if you have some tube that is bent in very complicated geometry, this is not happening
omg... you could have said that in 20 seconds easily! And what about showing the whole screen? What a waste of time!
