pipe outside diameter

[Cam800]

Hi,
Thank you for this tool.

I am building a tube structure and i was wondering if it would be possible to output the pipe outside diameter and the wall thickness?

This is not supported today and is unlikely to be something I add, but if you can share an example design file, I could look at what might be involved. My guess right now is that Fusion doesn't have a special representation for a pipe/tube and so the add-in would need some way to figure out which bodies are pipes and which ones are not from the geometry alone.

A possible workaround you could try is to define a custom material for each wall thickness in your design and assign that to the appropriate parts. Then, when you export a cutlist, the material would specify the wall thickness and the width/height would specify the outside diameter.

Ok. Thanks for your quick reply. This is one small part i have uploaded as an example.

I will have a look at your work around as well.

Thanks for sharing the example. Looking at that, it seems like there is at least one problem that I can try to fix: the add-on is not picking the best orientation for some of the pipes, so the exported dimensions are incorrect in some cases.
