Reduce GapSize on mitred flange sheet metal part

chachaman — Tue, 19 Jan 2016 15:14:18 GMT

Hello,

Can anyone figure out how to reduce the GapSize=0.60 in to 0.30 in on this mitred sheet metal part ?

This is a multibody sheetmetal part, in case it makes a difference.

See attachments.

Thanks in advance.

Just change the "GapSize from the default parameter set for your Style to what you want, in this case replace the "Gapsize" with the value required.

miter goes bye bye at anything less than material thickness...

Missed the Multi-Body portion, post the parent file "crc.ipt" that this file is linking to.

I never use the "Auto-Mitre", didn't realize it locks down the gap to material thickness. Learned something new, makes the day worth while.
