Pinching a tube end flat - How do I do this?
-
Hi All:
I am modeling a set of steel tube landing gear legs for my Pietenpol Air Camper build. The ends of the landing gear tubes ( 1.375" steel tubing) are squeezed flat on one end, onto which a smaller tube is welded onto this flat edge as a hinge. Like this:

I am trying to figure out the way to take a tube extrusion in Sketchup and pinch it flat on the end at the proper diagonal angle across the tube.
Any advice appreciated!
