Concept “cuts perpendicular” We associate it with sheets – and rightly so.

Cut perpendicular sheet metal straighten holes

However, there may be a need to achieve such an effect in parts, which are not sheets.

What then?

Let's consider the 80x80x5 square profile – As you can see, there is no option when cutting cuts perpendicular.

Perform the following steps.

1. Move the surface o zero from the inner and outer walls of the profile.

2. Remove the lump object leaving only two surfaces. Then do it twice thickening of the surface to the thickness of the profile (in this case 5mm). It is important, to thicken the inner surface outside, and the outer inside Without merging the results.

3. Turn on the operation connect and by choosing both objects, select Common. As a result, you will receive an object cut perpendicular to the thickness of the walls.

This type of process is called in the industry Normalization of the profile.
