Description
The SheetMetal AddBase command creates a SheetMetal base object from a sketch.
From an open contour it creates a prismatic profile:
From a closed outline it creates a base plate (blank):
Usage
Profile
- Select an open contour
sketch.
- Activate the
SheetMetal AddBase command using one of the following:
- The
Make Base Wall button.
- The SheetMetal →
Make Base Wall menu option.
- The keyboard shortcut: C then B.
- The
- Adjust the profile's parameters by editing the corresponding values in the Property editor:
- The property Datalength for the profile length,
- The property Datathickness for the profile thickness,
- The property Dataradius for the inner radius of the bends.
Plate
- Select a closed outline
sketch.
- Activate the
SheetMetal AddBase command (see above).
- Adjust the plate's parameter by editing the corresponding value in the Property editor:
- The property Datathickness for the thickness of the plate.
