Thanks Richard for your reply. I have a bit of confusion on the 'breaking the elbow' thing. Can u pls get it to me in detail. from what i understand the normal break command cannot be applied. Do i have to model two 45 deg. elbows as a typical mitered elbow. One piece of the first size of 45 deg. and the next piece of the second size of 45 deg.

Thanks again.
