Slope

Sloped components are components where a ppoint has its offset tolerance set in the catalog. The offset tolerance is a maximum angle to which a weld may be shaped to change the direction of flow. The slope is stored as an attribute called slopedir and as a direction.

Note:
The default maximum angle in the sample project is 11.31 degrees which gives a maximum possible change of direction of 1 in 5 (11.31 degrees).

• Add a slope to the orthogonal direction of the component

• Orientate the component about a selected p-point

If required, add a slope to the orthogonal direction of the component, from the 3D compass view, click Set the current slope to Up or Down.

From the displayed menu, select:

By default, the slope of the currently selected branch is displayed, if required select another from a list of the available slopes in the catalog. Select the direction in the direction tool, to set the arrive/leave direction of the component plus the slope.

In the example shown below the tee is set to slope down 1 in 10 (5.7106 degrees)
