A Segmented Turn Joint is a way to create an elbow or smooth curve using multiple segments of straight pipe.

A single template is generated that can be used to cut each segment. The first and last segments can be any length so only use one cutline for these segments.

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

Turn Radius: a positive number.

Turn Angle: more than 0 deg. and less than 180 deg.

Number of Joints: The number of joints used to create the curve. A positive number.

Creative Uses:

Setting Number of Joints to 1 makes this joint digress into something similar to a Miter Joint.	Number of Joints = 1 and Turn Angle = 60
It can even make a donut	Turn Angle = 360
Regular Polygons	Turn Angle = 360 and Number of Joints=4
Basket Ball?	Turn Radius = 0 and Turn Angle=360
