Alright... I guess I just needed to fiddle with this some more. I figured out that the default pierce point for weldment extrusions is the origin of the profile. I didn't think the origin would return to bite me in the butt later, but I didn't put the center of the profile on the origin...
I tried to isolate each problem by rolling back and deleting some things but the problem would be gone. It had something to do with the angles where 3 or more tubes are intersecting onto one point.
Although, I drew the exact weldment sketches of the joint with an extra line/structural member...
Apparently I don't know how to post pictures in the thread here. Picture links -

I'm trying to model a tubular chassis accurately to be able to export the cut list and begin building but I'm having some difficulties getting the trim/extend feature to trim/extend the pipes the way I want it. Maybe I'm just not doing the trims in the right order, or maybe making the...
Nevermind, solved the grey tangent weighting option problem and equal length issue by unchecking maintain internal continuity.
Would still like to know of a better way to draw a whole tube frame using mirrors though.
Trying to model a tube frame similar to the ariel atom with the swooping arches and I can't get the two splines to be exactly the same without copying the entity.
I placed 3 points in space and connected them with a 3d spline, I defined the tangent driven dimensions, then I created a spline for...
