Male/Female Socket & Spigot Joints (Lap Joints) Example

As an example of how the user defined joints can be easily manipulated, consider Male/Female Socket & Spigot joints, often referred to as lap joints:

Assuming the collar is fixed to the Female end in the workshop.

Set the Joint to FEMA on the detailing spec joints

At creation time the application then selects a male after each female.

The above does not show the collar thickness. (Default)

So without the green line outline the joint just looks like a butt joint

It is possible to show a collar by setting the

/CADCHVACCATA-Joints-RECT/FEMA/HVJA PPRO ( 100 )

/CADCHVACCATA-Joints-RECT/FEMA/HVJB PPRO ( 3 )

The above selection was from the Choose Joint which you can see gives you Male/Female Socket and Spigot description.

Note: It must be clear how to interpret the length of each piece because Length= PA to PL but you want 50mm male insert extra.
