Description[edit | edit source]
The SheetMetal AddBend command replaces sharp edges between between two sections (base plate/walls/flanges) of a sheet metal object with rounded bends. Without these bends the object will not be unfoldable.
This command is the third of three steps to convert a shell object made with the Part Workbench or PartDesign Workbench into an unfoldable sheet metal object:
Make Bend - replace edges with bends
Usage[edit | edit source]
- Select one or more edges.
- There are several ways to invoke the command:
- The Bend sharp corner properties Task Panel opens (introduced in version 0.5.00).
- Optionally press the Select button to add more faces.
- Press the Preview button to finish the selection and display the changes.
- Optionally adjust the parameters in the Task Panel.
- Press the OK button to finish the command and close the Task Panel.
- A SolidBend object will be created consisting of one new bend at each selected edge.
- Optionally adjust the parameters in the Property View.
Notes[edit | edit source]
The commands SheetMetal AddRelief,
SheetMetal AddJunction, and
SheetMetal AddBend work best with hollow cuboids i.e. shell objects with a constant thickness and only 90° angles between faces.
See SheetMetal AddRelief for hints about creating shell objects of cuboids.
Properties[edit | edit source]

A SheetMetal SolidBend object is derived from a Part Feature object or, if it is inside a PartDesign Body, from a PartDesign Feature object, and inherits all its properties. It also has the following additional properties:
