Tee

Use Tee to create a closed T-shaped spline. You can specify the radius of the two interior corners between the vertical web and horizontal flange of the section.

Example of Tee

Procedures

To create a Tee spline:

Go to the Create panel and turn on (Shapes).
Open the Shapes List and select Extended Splines.
Click Tee.
Drag and release the mouse button to define the initial size of the tee.
Move the mouse and then click to define the thickness of the walls of the tee.

Interface

Rendering and Interpolation rollouts

All spline-based shapes share these parameters. For explanations, see Spline Primitives.

Creation Method rollout

The Tee shape uses the standard creation methods of Center or Edge. Most spline-based shapes share the same Creation Method parameters. For explanations, see Spline Primitives.

Parameters rollout

Length: Controls the height of the vertical web of the tee.
Width: Controls the width of the flange crossing the tee.
Thickness: Controls the thickness of the web and flange.
Corner Radius: Controls the radius of the two interior corners between the vertical web and horizontal flange of the section.

NoteTake care when adjusting these settings. There are no constraining relationships between them. Therefore, it's possible to set a radius (Corner Radius) that is greater than the length of the web or width of the flange.
