cutting down only the part of the top with a radius

[superiorwelding22]

So we do a lot of tube work and also im totally new here so maybe I'm missing somethingbut I'm trying to create my tubes so that I can send it out to my tube plasma cutter...I've created a new library with all my tube diameters,and radiuses', so I can just copy and paste it over and push/pull/extrude them to the length i need. but lets say I want a tube with a with 45 degree angles on both ends,how do i go about to do that? attatched is the file I'm working on

Thank you in advance

You need to attach your Fusion model, not a STEP file. This sounds like a Draft problem.

If you do not know how to attach your Fusion 360 model follow these easy steps. Open the model in Fusion 360, select the File menu, then Export and save as a F3D or F3Z file to your hard drive. Then use the Attachments section, of a forum post, to attach it.

Using your STEP file, I demonstrate a Draft cut.

Edit: This can be done on a Round Tube as well.  All you need to do is create a Tangent Plane for your Pull Direction location.

Here is the F3d file

File did not make it.  You cannot attach a file to a post using email, you must attach it to your Forum question.

ok that helps out tremendously, but now let's say I want to just notch the top of the corners down, like maybe a 3" down from the top but want to leave the rest of the rest of the part, is that possible without drawing extra lines? like maybe with the extrude tool or sweep tool etc?

[jhackney1972]

You need to give a screen capture or picture of a hand sketch to define the cut you want.  You description is not clear enough.  Is the notch in the model tube you sent what you want?

[jhackney1972]

If the cut you had in your supplied tube is what you want, then you can use measured Offset Planes and the Boundary Fill command to cut out the notch.

Will this work?

I will try to cut the tube as you sketch shows and show the process in the video.
