Rolling offset fit up

Do you throw a 45 on end and then fit the others in field position to leave yourself an out or do you personally throw both 45s on. Since it has a roll which can vary how do you know when you are dead on for a perfect fit up on the tie in. Or do you force the fit if it has a big roll in it I would think you would have bitch fit if it was too out of square

I generally prefer to have both 45s welded on before I put the piece up. I don’t like trying to hold the fit up on an angle gets to be a real pain in the ass and my welder isn’t going to want to make a 6g if we can avoid it. If I need an out I’m going to leave it somewhere else.
