Trim/extend In Weldments

[MASTERCHIEF]

USING THE WELDMENT TOOL, AND USING THE TRIM/EXTEND TOOL FOR WELDMENTS, IM TRYING TO MITER A 2X2 WITH A 2X3. I CAN NOT GET THE MEMBERS TO MITER CORRECTLY. THE PROGRAM DEFAULTS TO 45 DEGREE ANGLE ON BOTH TUBES, HOW DO I MAKE SW UNDERSTAND TO MITER AT THE TUBES AT 34 DEGREES AND 54 DEGREES.......PLEASE HELP!!

You can cut each member with any angle.
You can use a simple line to define the cut and select which member tu cut by "Feature scope".

Use Cut features

For ultimate controll trimming weldments you can use any of the CUT features

I have a free video showing how this is done at SolidWorks Training & Tutorials on DVD - Inspirtech - Home
