Weldments: orienting the members
Weldments: orienting the members
(OP)
I don't know why I'm not finding it in the help
I created a simple weldment from a 3D sketch. I want the thing to be made of steel angle. It creates the weldment, but the steel angles and not pointed in the right direction. That is to say that I want the flat part of the angle facing down, but SWx is creating it with the top of the flange facing down. There has to be a way to control the orientation of the profile, right?

RE: Weldments: orienting the members
One thing you have to realize, is if you have 2 line on each end and you adjust one angle to be a certain way and you pick the second line. THat second line will orient that profile the same as the first. But lets say you wanted a mirror image on the other side. You will have to do this in 2 steps and probably reorient it like you did the other one.
