You can always stick with the original rib command so it will remain flat. However, keep in mind, that to make the rib conform to your specifications, you will need to play with the sketch line and move it slightly away from the corners to insure it touches both lips of the rounded edges. If not, you will end up with one side being at the top of the rounded edge while the other side slightly below the top edge. In this exercise its simply to avoid the flat edges created on the corners when creating ribs. This is demonstrated in this video as well. ua-cam.com/video/AFoXeAD6MAQ/v-deo.html
Making that rib, could you just draw a triangle instead of just the diagonal line, extrude it to the width you want, and then extrude the edges to both cylindrical objects?
Yes you could however, you will run into the issue of the rib not conforming to the shape of both rounded edges. You will have flat edges instead that may protrude a bit. Ribs more commonly are connected slightly below the actual edges. Although this method I presented isn't a common practice, this was just a demonstration on how to achieve a rib from edge to edge if it was something that anyone wanted to try.
While I would agree with you about its purpose, again it depends on what you are producing. Yes ribs and gussets for that matter serve specific purposes and have best practices associated with them. If you are working in an industrial shop or injection molding industry that has specific requirements and tolerances, then yes. While the term "useless" is a broad statement, it doesn't apply in all cases.
That split face rib was excellent, thank you!
I'm glad you liked it!
Great tutorial! CAD Jungle is the best!
Thanks for the support, much appreciated!
Very smart idea to use split tool.
I did not understood till I saw the result 😁👍
Thanks a lot 😁
Glad you liked it!
excellent
THANK YOU!
Subscriber gained!
Very nicely presented thank you👍
Most welcome 😊
Excellent tutorial. I always learn something new watching your lessons. Keep it up!
I'm glad it helped!
wonderful video subbed
I saw the last “rib-by-loft” lesson too. So, what if the drawing called for the top of the rib to be flat? This is really concerning to me. Thanks!

Good Idea but not for production. So actually its useless..
While a different approach is a good idea in some instances, it may not be practical in all use cases, but it is definitely not useless.
@@CADJungle Yes it is. Most of the time design are made for production or prototype. This is just for looks. So yes it is useless in production.
