Hi, I'm trying to find a way to make a custom angle victaulic elbow. that elbow need to be insert in the model with the option to specified the angle need. Victaulic elbows are build with a distance "C" to "E" of 1.5D radius and 1D of tangent straight at the end for the groove. So when custom angle elbows are made, the angle is cut-out in the radial part and after that the tangant straight is add.

The closest thing I found to do this is base pipe bend. but in my case, I don't want to specified the bp1_end and radius, I just need to enter the custom angle.

Any clues on how to do this?

I'm not sure on a angle work around, but I have not found a solution for a straight tangent on an elbow other then using the bend pipe or pulled pipe. tose dont allow you to report the fitting, instead it rolled the material up in pipe length. Bentley is still not looking at addressing extended tangent fitting. they wish to charge for that customization bit.
