Bending a piece of steel and exrude along path problem


Recommended Posts

I am trying to bend a piece of steel 3/8" x 1 1/2" for legs of a table.  I draw the rectangle and extrude along the leg path, my problem is where the extrusion ends there is a taper on the leg.  I have tried keeping the profile and locking with no luck. Any suggestions would be a great help831459178_ScreenShot2020-09-30at5_03_25PM.thumb.png.2f92e727c9dcc87d3d823befffc7aebd.png

If the profile you're extruding along the path is only a rectangle and the path is in a single plane, I think I would just draw the side view of the shape and extrude it using the Extrude command. There are lots of advantages to this method including correct end shapes (the other's include snap-able geometry, easy editing later on, lower overhead).

 

Alternately, just cut off the extra bit using the Split Tool.
