Re: Building the kitbot frame- mate the holes?

For example- in trying to fasten the end cap to the top of the rail, it makes one bolt that goes through the end cap, then the rail, then the other side of the rail, then the other side of the endcap. How can I go through just the first two?


EDIT: Scratch that, found the split feature.
Right-click Smart Fastener from the FeatureManager. Click Edit Smart Fastener. Right click on the Socket Head Cap Screw. Click Properties.
You will be able to change the length and size. Marie
