Angle Spline 281
Lengt h—
Controls the height of the vertical web
of the channel.
Width—Controls the width of the top and bottom
horizontal legs of the channel.
Thick ness—Controls the thickness of both legs of
the angle.
Sync Corner Fillets—When turned on, Corner
Radius 1 controls the radius of both the interior
and exterior corners between the vertical web and
horizontal legs. It also maintains the thickness of
the channel. Default=on.
Co rner Radius 1— Controls the exterior radius
between the vertical web and horizonta l legs of the
channel.
Co rner Radius 2—Controls the interior radius
between the vertical web and horizonta l legs of the
channel.
Note: Take care when adjusting these sett ings.
There are no constraining relationships between
them. Therefore, it’s possible to set an inside
radius(CornerRadius2)thatisgreaterthanthe
length of the web or width of the legs.

Use Angle to create a closed “L” shaped spline. You
have the option to specify the radii of the corners
between the vert ica l and hor i zontal legs of the
section.
Example of Angle
Procedure
To create an Angl e spl ine:
1.
Go to the Create panel and choose
Shapes.
2. Open the Shapes List and select Extended
Splines.
3. Click Angle.
4. Drag and release the mouse button to define
the init i al size of the angle.
5. Move the mouse and then click to define the
thicknessofthewallsoftheangle.

Creation Meth od rollout
The Angle shape uses the standard creation
methodsofCenterorEdge. Mostspline-based
shapes share the same Creation Metho d
parameters. For explanations, see
