Hi and welcome to the forums and Deled.

Look at the end of the half cylinder, the one that extends passed the other. You can see the groups of vertices that form the cylinder. Look at a viewport that shows the object behind it, and now select the opposite pairs of vertices from the extended cylinder and drag them back to match the profile of the object behind.

Like this:

Then switch viewport to the opposite object profile, drag the other profile vertices to match. Now you have a perfect mitre joint, which is easier for texturing.

Once you have formed your Mitre, you can weld the vertices. I normally create one internal and one external object, then simply drag the length to suit. I hope this helps.

You could also chop the end off at 45 degrees...

Create a single sided rectangle and rotate it so it is at 45 degrees
to the end of the cylinder and move it to where you want
to chop off the cylinder.
Then select the rectangle followed by the cylinder and click "slice".

Cheers.

This is really a great example of why DeleD needs a 'snap to vertex' feature. I run into this all of the time - wanting to move a vertex to the location of another vertex that isn't necessarily right on the grid.

Isn't there a plugin that does that?

Ah thanks. Smile

I must have forgotten about that option somehow.
