You can use chute shape geometric construction macros for quick layout of chute design. The following macros are available to create chute shapes in material handling mode. They appear in the Molded Forms Advanced Plate System command on the Standard Chutes tab of the Geometric Construction Palette.

A complete chute is typically made from three macros. The top macro is the head section, the middle is the transition section, and the bottom is a bifurcated or spoon section.

Limitations

  • The software creates the chute as a single plate system with bent knuckles.

  • You cannot place stiffener profiles on the chute plate system.

  • You cannot place edge reinforcements on the chute plate system.

  • You can only place openings on the chute plate system by using topological openings. You cannot sketch openings in the Sketch 2D environment.
