Hi,<?:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:eek:ffice:eek:ffice" />
I have a question regarding weldments. I have a structure made up of various size tubes. Corners with the same size tubes, or at least two of the same size tubes and other smaller tubes, don
 
looks pretty messy lol. i would have but the pieces together in pairs and then moded it all to fit it all together. but thats just me.. im just a kid.(19) haha not sure theres much help with this one. sorry for not helping.. :)
 
Sounds like you might want to start with the largest tube. are you assembling this as you would in real life? Have you tried creating multiple assemblies of the same size tubes, then an assembly of the assemblies? Are you assembling them as you would in real life?
 
What you will need to do is copy the surface of the tube you want to use as
the cut into the model you are cutting.

Extend the surface so that it passes entirely through the tube you need cut.

Cut the tube using the new extended surface.
 
a top down approach would be good for this problem. Think for a more simple problem creating four tubes to make a picture frame for example. Say you want a .063 gap between each tube for weld melt and so to fit nice in a jig.

All in one part....
You offset one surface from one tube (also a surface) by the tolerance your looking for. say .063 inches for those of you still using inches. Then use that surface to cut the other surface

By using copy part you make it a top down modeling approach. top down comes from the early days software programming where a holistic approach to software programming meant a 30 thousand foot.

I could give a step by step if anyone cares.
