back to other joints

A Rolling Offset Joint creates two miter joints to offset a pipe by a specified amount.

The two end pipes run parallel.

Two templates are generated, one for the middle 'offset' section and one that can be used for both end pipes.

Parameter Constraints:

Joint Name:  name of this joint which is unique to this project or currently opened joints

Pipe OD: (Outside Diameter) must be a positive number

Pipe Wall: (Wall Thickness) must be a positive number, less than half Pipe OD

Run: length of rolling offset

Set: height of rolling offset

Roll: width of rolling offset

Comments:

Additional output fields labeled Offset and Miter are provided for the user's convenience.

Offset is the calculated distance between the two parallel end pipes, measured perpendicular to the pipes.   sqrt(set^2 + roll^2)

Miter is the angle to cut the ends of the pipe to create this joint.
