No more weld bead in SW2012 assembly
No more weld bead in SW2012 assembly
(OP)
To my great disappointment, the weld bead part creation method in SW2010 (in assemblies) is no longer supported in SW2012. Only cosmetic weld beads which are not appearing in renders. Is there a simple workaround this to get decent realistic appearances in renderings, I have a lot of combinations of sheet metal parts combined with round tubes which look very raw without weld beads. It is possible to create sweeps, lofts and other features to get the appearance, but it requires at least as much time as building the assembly. Or, to create one more complete model built up from scratch as a part and use fillets to represent the welded joints. Saving an assembly as a part and simply adding fillets doesn't work because it gets saved as a set of surfaces... Any simple solution to this issue?

I attached the image showing the construction and the weld fillets applied are gray on the red part.
