Welded construction: frame with 4 different custom profiles

Out of category
1

Hello

I want to make a welded construction set with custom profiles (all different).

So I proceed with 4 x welded elements (1 for each profile) and then I have them adjusted/extended.

The 1st no problem.

Then it gets messy, I can only make a U and the 4th profile is impossible to adjust with the rest.

Is there a trick to solving this?

Thank you

(in the attachment I only used 2 different profiles but the principle remains the same)

Kind regards

I forgot to join the 2 sldlfp profiles concerned. Sorry^^

2nd profile...

For complex profiles, it is sometimes necessary to go through the creation of a plan to adjust the 2 profiles according to this same plan.

Hello

Same as sbadenis do them 1 by 1 with a 45° flat adjustment. 

Here is an illustration attached.

So you have to create the 45° plan using your 1st sketch and then create your profiles + adjust the plan.

 

Kind regards

And if you don't make a 45° angle, put your rectangle under construction and redo the lines side by side in relation to the edges. But given your profiles, it would require you to do some fitting machining.

3rd way is to use the split tool

Thank you for your answers,

What I want is a profile/counter-profile assembly:

I want to avoid going through routes.

For this the 'welded construction' tool does a very good job... but don't go all the way in my case. Too bad...

I don't know the split tool, I'll try.

In your example, the grey profile must be machined with a wick that takes up the profile of the red then.

Yes, but that's not the subject of my post actually. Maybe I wasn't clear enough in my request, sorry.

My request concerns the use of the 'welded construction' module with several profiles of different origin.

As a reminder, a mechanically welded element can only manage one type of profile at a time.

If I want to make a frame with several different types of profiles, I have to make as many mechanically welded elements. (for the example below I took the same profile each time but it's just to show the principle)

The junctions between profiles are then adjusted with the 'adjust/extend' tool.

But in my case it doesn't work.

  1. 1st junction: yellow/red ok it works (except for the top of the red profile but it's not manageable by the adjustment tool, no big deal I can quickly remove extruded material).

  • 2nd junction I try between yellow and blue: impossible!
  • So I try between red and green: ok!
  • I still have to make the yellow/blue and green/blue junction but the adjust/extend tool stubbornly refuses me.

What to do?

If I try to use the mechanically welded construction tool, it is because it offers me the possibility of saving a lot of time compared to a more traditional method. If someone masters this tool and can explain it to me... or tell me that it's not possible:)

In welded construction I'm not convinced that you can do it

it works at least with complex profile cutouts

on the other hand in assembly no problem via the intelligent functions

Ok, that's kind of what I feared.

For the smart functions can you please guide me a little because I don't know.

Thank you for your help.
