Welding the structure
- Once your weldment is all assembled and ready to go, then you might be interested in welding it together. Now I can use the weld bead tool to add in some welds and some cosmetic information showing the size and type of weld it's going to be. Which you can then bring into a drawing if you need to. So click on weld bead, and I can come down here and I'm going to choose to weld these gussets in. And I can choose a couple different ways to do it, but one of the easiest ways I find to choose and select the faces is to use this smart weld selection tool. So click on that and then just draw a line across the two sections, so I want this section here and this section here, so draw a line from there over to there, and that should select both of those sections. Then click on new weld path, and do the same thing right up here at the top, and it selects those. New weld path again, select these faces over here. New weld path one more time, and those ones there. Now you can continue on throughout…
