I have a pipe that is part of a supporting structure, acting as a column. What I need is to weld a rib/plate to the side of the pipe so I can add back-to-back angle bracing.
Is this possible? I tried various ways, but with no luck. I tried to add a plate, but can't seem to figure out how to get it to rotate to the right orientation.
Thanks
You mean sample like attached or different thing?
Please share your file.
Almost exact. the problem I'm having is that when I add the plate, it will only go in parallel to the end of the pipe.
I must be missing sometihng simple. i should be able to rotate it so it's perpendicular, but it won't work.
How did you do it?
