Weldments - Change Corner Treatment
Within a structural member, you
can override the corner treatment within a group or between adjacent groups.
You can also merge an arc
body with an adjacent body and specify weld gaps and trim order.
To change a corner treatment:
Right-click a structural member in the FeatureManager
design tree and select Edit Feature.
Click the
corner you want to modify.
In the Corner
Treatment dialog box, work with the highlighted group, Group 1.
If additional groups meet at this corner, click the arrow keys to scroll
to other groups.
For arcs only, select Merge
arc segment bodies to merge the arc with the adjacent body,
creating one body. Clear to retain separate bodies.
Select the corner treatment:
End Miter 
, End Butt1 
, or End Butt2 
.
Select Set corner
specific weld gaps to override the weld gap for the group.
Specify the new weld gap in Gap
between Connected Segments in Same Group 
.
Set Trim Order.
A group with a lower trim order number
trims a group with a higher number. If two groups have the same trim order
number, they miter each other, trim groups with a higher number, and are
trimmed by groups with a lower number.
