Understanding Stiffeners & spacing

Anonymous · ‎04-23-2019

We have 2019 Fabrication products. Camduct2019, CadMep2019 & Revit 2019. Is there a way to manipulate the spacing on the stiffeners to a custom dimension? We are creating 126x44 duct and we need (3) tie rods, but we need them spaced in a way to accommodate access doors and existing conditions and having them equally spaced is not an option. See attached sketch.

Within a spec wouldn't work. Are you taking the parts into CAMduct? If so, just edit the development and add/move holes as needed. Are thy being nested or coming off a coil line?

Yeah, we are using CamDuct and we were trying to eliminate editing the development, but it appears it might be the only way to do it. I appreciate your reply and will mark this as solved per your response.

They are going to our laser. Since our coil can't do tie rod holes, we under size the length a little to force them to machine cut.

I hate to say it but sometimes its just as easy to have the shop floor drill them after the fact.
