Trimming to the End of a Profile
Architectural, Framer
This function can be used to join the end of a profile to the end of another profile. The program will stretch or shorten the profile to be joined so that the joint can be created.
- Select Modeling | Connection | Joint > Profiles Connect Profile Ends.
- Select the profile to be joined.
- Select the profile to which the profile is to be joined.
If there is already a joint at the end of the profile, you will be prompted: "Remove present joints?" Select either of the following:
- Yes - Remove the old joint and create a new one.
- No - Keep the old joint. A new joint will not be created.
You can also create a joint by using the function in the context-sensitive menu of the end grip point of a profile:
- Select the profile to be joined.
- Move the cursor near the end grip point.
- Right-click to open the context-sensitive menu.
- Select Connect Profile Ends.
- Select the profile to which the profile is to be joined.
