SheetMetal Examples

Introduction
The SheetMetal workbench has grown quite powerful now and it demands an appropriate documentation.

To avoid the overcrowding of the tool pages with examples this page was added to collect parts showing and explaining special SheetMetal features.

Planned phases to generate content:
 * 1) Collecting pictures
 * 2) Adding workflow descriptions
 * 3) Adding more detailed tutorials
