How Delete Face can save a 3 pipe connector problem - Fusion 360

This is a workflow based on a Reddit question.

Just a suggestion, placing a sphere at the intersection of the three pipes will give a nicer transition.

[@ion1969]

Yes, a sphere with a diameter equal to the diameter of the pipes makes a beautiful rounded corner.

Can you update this great lesson by adding gussets at the 90deg sections?

Short and sweet

Thank you

Great - just exactly what I needed to know. But contrary to your example I need to do all three lines (paths) as seperate sketch. Otherwise one line fades away after I did the first pipe piece. Strange. Nevertheless I got that thing solved. Thanks.

[@KristianLaholm]

After you have used a feature (pipe in this case) Fusion will hide the sketch and you will have to turn on the visibility again (click the eye to right of sketch in browser). There is preference you can change telling Fusion to not hide sketches.

@@KristianLaholm good to know. Thanks again.
