Part Builder for Caps

Hi there,

 

Any suggestions on how to use part Builder to model caps on pipes?  I'm most curious to see if PB can automatically size a cap to show in profile view based on the diameter of the pipe.

 

Thanks!

Andrew

To my knowledge that's not possible, unfortunately.

I think pipes only allow for sweeping profiles that are true for the whole length of the pipe.

You would need to build a Structure > Inlet/Outets type that matches the cap.   You migth start with the End Section Round structure and strip whats not needed.
