There has to be an easier way to do this than I have discovered.....
To join two mitered tubes, as one might in a handrail, etc, there seems to be no simple way to proceed. None of the usual constraints seem to do what is waned, to get these two mitered tubes to line up face to face.
They can be mated, but they can slide around. They can be constrained to a plane, and then another plane put at right angles, at which time they can be constrained to the planes and line up. A system of axes can be created and they can line up with that.
But there seems to be no simple combination of constraints that will "grab the right points" to do it without creating an external structure of axes and planes.
Am I missing something?
