Mitre Cut, Through Point, With Lengthening (3-D SM)

Sheet Metal > Change length > Corner/Mitre > Through point

In the Through point mode you can mitre cut flanges with or without lengthening through a defined point.

1. On each flange, select an edge of the longitudinal side, or right-click and select the front side.

This automatically sets the first intersection point of the mitre; it lies in the theoretical lengthening of the inner edges of the flanges. Right-click to switch to theoretical lengthening of outer edges.

2. Then, activate the second intersection point of the cut plane.

A preview will be displayed.

3. Activate the Lengthen checkbox if you want non-overlapping flanges to be trimmed.
4. Click OK to apply the preview and close the dialogue window.

If you click Apply, the preview will also be applied, but the window will remain open.
