Structure System problem

Unread post by Lucas »

I am having a strange problem with Structural System, if I make it with small diameter the corner is not executing the Miter Trim in Corner Management.

So I decided to check with a simple sketch:


5mm is fine:

... from 2mm got two corners:

1mm all four corners:

Found the sweet spot for breaking with 2mm: between 78.5~101.5 degrees. LOL

Bonus: Weldments Structural Member with 0.0001mm does not care =)

Is this broken?

Just make all your SS Weldments with 0.0001mm...
I have asked several times whether SS is ready for production use. I have never received an adequate answer. I'm not attempting to learn it until I get a sufficient answer...I was gullible and played with it when it first came out and, yep, there were limitations that prevented me for using it (forgot what all they were at the time)...I guess if I see them make a CSWP for it, it may be ready. But, that hasn't happened yet.

That's disappointing. lol
SS looks more convenient than Structure Member for lattice design. For additive manufacturing around 0.2mm is more than enough, and it is possible to do it even broken like this depending on the structure.
I just think it is a strange restriction, specially because weldments have none.

Ah...I see the problem now...Just like with the Swamp Platform, SW development makes no logical sense...So, don't try to apply logic to what works with SW and you'll understand things much better...
