Change Miter Joint Options

We now try different miter options and use the one that best fits our design.

1. To create a clearance for a groove weld and see the two miter types, enter 5 mm in the Miter Cut Extension field.

   Miter Cut at both sides is selected by default. As the name implies, this option adds or removes material on both components equally.

   
2. Click Apply.
   

   The total offset distance between the mitered faces is 5 mm.

3. To continue experimenting with the miter options, select Miter Cut at one side.
   
4. Select the lower tube, and then select the upper tube.
5. Click Apply.

   The joint is offset 5 mm, but only the lower tube is offset from the joint midplane.

   
6. This time, select the upper tube first, and then the lower tube.
7. Click Apply.

   The first component selected is the component offset from the joint midplane.

   
8. Create another miter joint at the other tube junction.
9. Click Cancel when finished.
