Still working on joining two tubes at an angle. I've tried using thickness on the lower section before creating the secondary reference plane, then again on the top section; in this case, I can't see through the secondary plane. I've tried applying it after the compound object is built; in this case...

Thank you! I got it to work with an additive loft, drawing two elipses and aligning them with the projection of the cutoff tube's top.

PartDesign_AdditivePipe ? Not sure what you're suggesting. I've used additive pipe numerous times. But what would the profile, and the path, be? If the path follows the top outside outline of the cutoff tube, the profile to meet with concentric circles some distance above z=0 on the reference plane...

How do I draw two cylinders oriented at different angles and join them? Problem 1: What is the easiest way to create a reference plane whose center is above the origin? I started by slicing the first cylinder at the desired angle based on a simple triangle, then creating a plane based on the top fac...

Thanks @chrisb and @drmacro . Wanted to make sure I wasn't missing something.

You delete the alias name from the Spreadsheet. At that point, what is the helix supposed to do? It would not be absurd, if it behaved like in other cases, e.g. when you delete a cube of which you referenced the length, where the value is kept, and an error is shown in the tree. This is what I was ...

Not sure if this is intended behavior or not: If I have a PartDesign SubtractiveHelix whose Height parameter is set to the named alias of a spreadsheet cell, and I delete that name as part of rearranging the spreadsheet, the PartDesign SubtractiveHelix changes the Height parameter to the spreadsheet...

@edwilliams16
Thanks, that worked.

I'd still like to understand why the part cut failed with the corrected sweep attached below.

Did you follow all the "Tipps for success" in the Thread for Screw Tutorial?

Thanks. Check geometry pointed out the profile sweeping the helix self intersected

I thought I knew how to do this once upon a time. Trying to make an odd-sized nut, so a hex solid with a helix-generated solid cut out. In the attached, file, using Part WB selecting GateHangerNut and Sweep, then doing a boolean cut results in an object, but the object has no threads. Viewing from t...
