Intersecting Complex profile beams

Anonymous

Hi all. This may have been asked before, or is actually quite easy to do...

But I having a bit of trouble whilst trying to connect two complex profile beams. What I'm modelling is a overhang, which has a slight pitch to it and tapers into a curve. Easy enough for the straight sections, But as soon as I get to the corners they intersect each other and stick out.

I've been fiddling with the solid element operations but im not having much luck.

Anybody have any ideas?

Thanks

Try using the complex profile with the wall tool instead. It should join correctly at the corner.
An alternative would be to use a complex profile for the curved edge only, and the mesh tool for the rest.

Ah ha, using the wall as the complex profile worked. Not sure why I overlooked that. Must be because its late in the day! Ready for home now!

Thanks a lot!
