Note:
First review the <Mandatory Universal Specifications for All Parts>, then examine the section-specific considerations for the part you are currently machining. Both sections must be reviewed.
After clicking the Table of Contents, scroll up slightly to locate the corresponding subsection headings.

Web R corner cannot be 0 Web must be centered between flanges Top/bottom flange thickness and length must match |
Note: I-beams should be modeled as H-beams, with flange thickness set to the maximum I-beam flange thickness specification. |

When the wing plate/web is completely unnecessary, an additional portion needs to be cut from another area. |
||
A shape that cannot be directly cut by laser has appeared at the R-corner position. |
※The tongue width needs to be confirmed, as different width requirements lead to different drafting specifications. |
The web R corner must be retained to avoid laser-uncuttable geometries. |
The flange plate shall remain intact, and the web scallop for welding should retain a root (a root of 0.5mm is recommended). |

Open the part drawing in SolidWorks, then switch the view to the front view. This allows you to determine whether the part is an extruded profile and verify its thickness.
Measure in the Solidwork or TubesT whether the widths of the flanges are consistent, and whether the web is centered between the flanges.
