Does anyone know how to make a mitered corner from solid objects?

I haven't been able to find the answer to this one any where, so I
thought I'd challenge some sharpe minds here.
Here's a simple example: take 2 pieces of a solid shape, and place
them so they make a 90 degree angle. How do I cut them so I have
mitered corners (like a picture frame)?

 

?! I think you are asking for more like you want an assembly operation.


I would guess that you place a plane were you want the cut and use it
to cut your miter.

are you trying to do this in an assembly? to a single part? or multibodies?
if you have SW03 or 04 there is an example of a moulding around a door in
the Introducing SW (under Help) -parts/moulding i.e.chapter 2-12 that shows
a mitre corner extrudecut by a triangular sketch... is that what you mean?

 

or another way to form corners is with weldments in 04,05,06....see the
Help notes for examples of corner treatments

 

The simplest and most direct way to do this in a part is:

INSERT/FEATURE/SPLIT

you will need and extruded plane surface to form the cutting plane.
When the part is split choose to show the resulting bodies you want to
keep.

This functionality has been in since 2004.

 

Draw a rectangle to represent the inside or outside of the frame. Then
at one of the corners of the rectangle, make a plane perpendicular to
the rectangle and draw the cross section of the frame. Then make a
sweep using the first rectangle as the path and the section as the
profile. If the corners of the first rectangle are sharp, this will
create mitered corners.

I assume you want them in individual part files. Why do I get an error
when extruding to surface (workplane) in both directions?
