Dear All,

I need some help on Rafter clean ups. One of our customers working on AC V 9.0 need a solution to this problem. In the attached image, what he wants is that these Rafters(Steel Sections) to be cleaned up or Chamfered when they meet at the hip. Can any one give me the best solution in such cases?

Thanks in advance.

cheers,
Srinivas.

I would most likely create a "SEO" beam (on a hidden layer) that is the same width and length of steel beam 1 (See my attached image). Select the newly created beam and make it a Operator in an SEO operation. Select Beams 2 and 3 and choose them as Targets. Choose Subtraction as operation.
