Positioning of aluminium profiles with round edges

[filippmaksimov]

I want to set the position of aluminium profiles inside of doorway. I have created a construction plane from outer surface of the wall at the distance I need. Then I have created a sketch on this construction plane and projected a wall to receive a lines where I can link my profiles by joints. This worked with aluminium profiles with 90 degrees in corners. But if I want to link aluminium profiles with rounded edges (with help of fillet) it doesn't work. How I can do it?

there is not really enough information in your image to be certain, but I think I understand the question.  You will need to either use Joints to position the extruded aluminum, and hold down CTRL/CMD to get a snap point at the corner, or add a sketch to the component that owns the extruded aluminum, and add a point at the virtual intersection, and use that in a Joint

Hi,

Please share sample file.

Yes, I decided to use Joints. But before to use it I created Joint Origins on the corner of aluminium profiles and on doorway. You can look at it, I attached file of scene

[filippmaksimov]

I've done it, please, look at it now

You do not need all of those planes to cut the aluminum frame, all you need to do is extrude them to length and then use two Draft commands to cut the 45 degree ends.  Joining them together can be done using the center origin point of matching 45 degree faces.  Model is attached.

If you need further explanation, let me know.

You made my model not parametric) For that I used construction planes. And my question was not how to join them together but how to join them to the doorway

Hi,

Take a look at how this parametric model was designed.

Sorry, but you don't understand my task. And I've already solved it and attached file

just this much:
The planes and joint origins are neither required for mitering nor for parametry.

You can also do this in a different way without any joints at all.
