When you deactivate a skew component on a 2D skew, the pipes on the skew snap into place on the remaining axis. The result is a section of orthogonal pipe. When you deactivate a skew component on a 3D skew, the result is a 2D skew.
The example below shows a 2D skew.
-
To convert the 2D skew into an orthogonal pipe, do one of the following:
-
Right-click the vertical axis, and then select Collapse. The resulting sketch resembles the example.
-
Right-click the horizontal axis, and then select Collapse. The resulting sketch resembles the example.
Deactivating a skew axis forces the skew components to run along the remaining axis.
In the example, the software was required to move the branch of the tee in order for
the pipes to snap into place. To control what moves where when you deactivate a skew component, use
the Properties window to change the axis order of the skew.
