Tee Shape ​

A TeeShape cuts a Tee-shaped pocket into an edge: a narrow Tee at the surface over a wider Main body below it. This example is a lock plate on the lock edge, using the same Feature Group location as the lock example: 44″ from the top.

How Each Property Shapes the Cut ​

TeeRelativeLocation ​

Moves the Tee toward the top or bottom end, measured from the center of the Main body. Used for features like olive hinges, where the Tee isn't centered.

TeeRelativeLocation moves the Tee toward either end

TeeLength and TeeWidth ​

Set the size of the Tee. TeeWidth is always calculated as TLocation - MainWidth / 2.0, so it changes whenever MainWidth does.

TeeLength and TeeWidth

MainLength and MainWidth ​

Set the size of the Main body.

MainLength and MainWidth

Radius1 – Radius4 ​

Round the corners of the Main body. Here each is set to 0.25″:

Radius1 to Radius4

EntryRadius1 and EntryRadius2 ​

Round the corners of the Tee. Here each is set to 0.25″:
