Command - PrB_PrPlCut

     

This command allows us to shorten or extend a profile against another part. The new end cut of the profile will be aligned to the other part.

On activating this command, you will be prompted to: Select the plates or beams you would like to cut.

You will be further prompted to indicate: The cutting plate or profile.


The profile or plate will immediately be cut to the main face of the cutting plate/profile.


This tool will cut against the web of I or U shapes.
If you need to cut to another face, then use the Manually select cutting plane option in the Add cut to macro tool.

This tool will shorten and extend the profile when needed. Therefore it is not possible to combine multiple end-cuts on a profile at the same end.

However, this command will automatically correct profiles that are too short :

If you need to combine two end-cuts, then use this command first and then use the Cut against an element (shorten only) command for the second end-cut.
