    Default Notch 3-sided W-beam frame, same as bandsaw cuts

    I created a 3-sided W-beam frame using Frame Generator.

    I mitered the first joint with no problem. I then wanted to notch the second joint replicating angles that a band-saw can accomplish.
    I am able to miter the second joint, but that creates an acute angle of 22.5 deg, which a typical band-saw cannot do.

    I would like the vertical beam to be notched into the horizontal beam, with a 45 deg cut.
    The horizontal beam would just be cut to length on a band-saw at a 45 deg angle.

    I have tried every scenario I can think of with the Notch tool (and other tools) but can't seem to get the results I want.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

    If you post a sample using standard modeling tools, I may be able to show you to get FG to do it. Sorry, but I'm not clear on what you want. If your bandsaw cannot cut a 22.5 deg angle, you will have problems getting the short horizontal miter cuts. Assuming the acute angle where the 2 longer beams intersect is 45 deg, the miter cut between the shorter and the vertical beam is 22.5 deg.

    It is entirely possible that I am missing something here...
