Frame Trim - Normal to Surface

Lucas_KuhnsLucas_Kuhns Member, csevp Posts: 105 PRO

I need a little help modeling this frame trim the way I want. There is a round pipe teeing into another round pipe like this:

You'll notice that the endpoints on the blue pipe come to a sharp point. What I would like is to create a surface from the inside edge that is normal to the outside of the pipe. I'll use this surface then to trim the end of the pipe off. It doesn't have to be a surface if there's some other way to accomplish this task. For those that know the reference, this is to model the part as a tube laser would cut it "normal to surface".
