SheetMetal AddJunction

Description
The Make Junction command creates open junctions between two sections (walls/flanges) of a sheet metal object. Without these junctions sheet metal sections connected to the same base will not be unfoldable.

This command is the second of three steps to convert a shell object made with the Part Workbench or PartDesign Workbench into an unfoldable sheet metal object:
 * 1) Make Relief
 * 2) Make Junction
 * 3) Make Bend



Usage

 * 1) Select one or more edge(s).
 * 2) Activate the [[Image:SheetMetal_AddJunction.svg|16px]] Make Junction command using one of the following:
 * 3) * The button.
 * 4) * The menu option.
 * 5) * The keyboard shortcut: then.
