Angle cut on a tube?

[Anonymous]

How do I make an angle cut on the end of a square tube? I have already
modeled the tube and want to place a 45 degree bevel on the end. The tube is
1.25"X2.00"X 24" long, with a .10 wall thickness.
Thanks, Bob

Use a side as your sketch plane, project edges, draw line from corner at 45
deg.
extrude, cut.

If the tube has rounded edges, the actual outer edges won't project and it
becomes a hassle at times to force everything to project and select to a
contiguous selectable area for the extrude.

Another method is to create a sketch on the end of the tube and revolve a
stretched rectangle to achieve the miter.

Of course, adaptively extruding to an adaptively place workplane is the best
way 😉

Could sketch a line at 45deg then use split part...

Ahh, but once again the "line" needs to be connected to the outer projected
edges.... a PITA if the tube has rounded edges.

It would be faster than trying to get a sketched "triangle" to close,
though.

I project both round edges, the end edge, both sides.
Draw line from corner to some point on side edge,
Apply dim.
Finish, extrude and cut.
I have been doing it that way since I first started with IV
There is more than one way to skin a cat.
I am not always confortable with work planes.
Getting better at it.

No PITA just project the edges. Or at least thats my way of doing it.

I may be missing something, but i usually use the Face Draft set at 45
degrees to remove material, and never had problems - even with spreadsheet
driven complex frameworks with zillions of adaptive cross members and
struts.

In fact, i have a few Tabs of Templates just for adaptive RHS (sorry, tube),
RSA & Channel, with & without mitres.

I'm that lazy, me.

Or turn on Autoproject and it behaves like MDT.
