Topic: Culver wall thickness problem [C3D 2014]

[Matt__W]

I've got a custom boxed culvert size that we're using and the wall thickness is not working.  The wall thickness parameter is set to TABLE but when you add a part size it shows up as CALCULATION and is the wrong dimension and can't be changed.  What am I missing??

[mjfarrell]

That is is CALCULATED based on a value in a TABLE
that you can't control outside of Part builder.
You will or should notice for each pipe size there is a given wall thickness in
the table.

As you see the Part Size name IS a calculation
whereas there is no calculation in form of WTH=BDY1/4

So you're saying I can't have a 72"x84" ID box culvert with 10" thick walls?  I call BULLS**T on that one!

[mjfarrell]

Actually you CAN have that one you must add it as an ADDITIONAL part size.

So put the bull spittle away - for now

Well I tried that (see the images?) and it gives me a 7" thick wall.  Hence my calling of BS.  So what's the magic trick to force it to be what I want it to be?

Do or Do Not there is no TRY....

And I did the same thing but I entered 10" and it makes it 7".  So again I ask... what's the trick?  Because this b***h ain't cooperatin'!

Don't be H8 10


Notice that I altered TWO size values, otherwise the Table Lookup function gets confused.
It would be like having TWO Red cars that looked exactly the same, only one has a 4 cyl engine
and the other a full blown V8.
Thee table cant tell your two parts from each other as the sizes are equal.....in every way.
Until you add some uniqueness to the part size.

Otherwise one could copy the catalogue and make anther set of parts with THICK walls for special use.

Check the circled values in image two above.
