Hi Brent,
I'm trying to design a basic step-through frame, but having trouble. In order to angle the top tube down and to intersect the seat tube at a lower point, I have tried increaseing the top tube/seat tube setback (in primary dimenstions), increasing the top tube angle, and then switching to front-center to shorten the head tube, none of which results in a workable design. Can you give me a pointer?
Thanks

Also important to leave the primary dimensions set in "Front Center" mode to avoid collapsing the head tube...

I'm glad to hear you got it figured out. I've just created a video tutorial about this. You can see it at: bikecad.ca/step_through_frame. Also related to this is the video tutorial on Mixte bikes.
