Web Cut

  1. Sketch the end cut on the Default layer.

  2. Sketch two horizontal lines and one vertical line, and click Trim or Extend to Next as needed to create a polygon with the end cut geometry along the right side.

  3. If construction lines are needed, sketch them on the Construction layer.

  4. Constrain the end cut to the bounding geometry and to the bounded part lines. Do not over-constrain. For example, use parallel constraints instead of horizontal/vertical constraints.

  5. Dimension the end cut on the Dimensions layer with respect to the bounding profile and to the bounded part lines.

    • Leave a gap where the bounded part attaches to the bounding part. Dimension the gap. The gap accounts for fit up clearance.

    • Add dimensions to assure that the cutting geometry is larger than the profile.

  6. Variables are created for each of the dimensions. If refinement of the variables is required, click Tools > Variables. Rename, change default values, and add formulas as needed.

Flange Cut

  1. Sketch the end cut on the Default layer.

  2. Sketch two horizontal lines and one vertical line, and click Trim or Extend to Next as needed to create a polygon with the end cut geometry along the right side.

  3. If construction lines are needed, sketch them on the Construction layer.

  4. Constrain the end cut to the bounding profile and to the bounded part lines. Do not over-constrain. For example, use parallel constraints instead of horizontal/vertical constraints.

  5. Dimension the end cut on the Dimensions layer with respect to the bounding profile and to the bounded part lines.

    • Add dimensions to assure that the cutting geometry is larger than the profile.

    • Leave a notch so that the flange cut does not cut the web.

  6. Variables are created for each of the dimensions. If refinement of the variables is required, click Tools > Variables. Rename, change default values, and add formulas as needed.
