Hello
In Solidworks, at the square tube level, I have two different types of square tubes.
- One with "right angle" edges
- The other with rounded edges
Anyone know the difference between these 2 types of tubes? Is there a way to name them?
Thank you very much and have a good day everyone!
Hello
As a rule:
Right angle: Aluminium tube.
Rounded corner: Steel tube.
Regards.

+1 for calimero ^^
In general for steel
Sharp Corners Square Section Tube Rolled Steel
rounded corners tube square section steel stretch
and often the sections with rounded corners are welded along the entire length.

Good evening
I agree with @Caliméro, but I will add that historically (about 10 years ago...), we favored simplified drawings, so the representation of tubes without leaves, it lightened both the 3D display and the drawings.
Today, SW manages all this much better, we have competition CAD stations (in general) and there are options for displaying tangent edges that also make it easier!
