Hello Will -- If you need a Flat Pattern you are going to need to construct the Component Parts using the Sheetmetal Design tool. In order to make that succeed you will need a (relatively small) Flat Tab as the basis for each "Tube." Now, should you like to do a GoToMeeting I believe I can show you the approach you need. I am located in Pacific Time (GMT-8). If you suggest a date & time and e-mail such information to tangent@olympus. net I will be happy to set up such a "meet." -- LewBTW both of the pipes need to be able to do a flat pattern for a flat drawing
Hi Lew, this is completely off topic, but I've been curious about this for long enough.Hello Will -- If you need a Flat Pattern you are going to need to construct the Component Parts using the Sheetmetal Design tool.

I personally always interpret bold as emphasis and italics is referring to something/someone (like a reference or footnote). I can almost 'hear' him speaking the words when I read on of Lew's posts. I also tend to use bold to highlight specific important elements of my posts (a bit like reviewing a document and using a highlight pen to make the key words stand out). I personally think it's more articulate. Each to their own I guess!How do you decide what is bold and italic, and what is the meaning/intent? I've never seen anyone being so disciplined regarding typography. Please explain.
Not a rock picker but a silage defacerBTW, is that a rock picker you have as an avatar?
Ok, that makes sense now that you mention it. I grew up pitching silage out of silos, later we had a silo unloader. I've seen a few of videos of silage pits/bunkers and the use of the defacer, just didn't make the connection.Not a rock picker but a silage defacer
Likewise, except when I see "I". Had a supervisor once that always used "I" when describing how much work we got done on the shift, that was not well liked by the shift crew, sounded too much like brag or boast.I personally always interpret bold as emphasis
