Description

The Make Relief command starts the first of three steps to convert a shell object made with tools of the Part or PartDesign workbench into an unfoldable SheetMetal object.

All edges where faces meet need to be separate; that's why the corners have to be cut off.

These cut-offs resemble corner reliefs, thus the naming Make Relief.

Create relief for sheet metal bend

Usage

To add relief to corner of bend:

  1. Start with a base plate or sheet, select a corner vertex to apply relief
  2. Click on the Relief tool to add relief cut to corner.

Note: The workbench does not have a tool to create a base plate, so you need to start your model with one of the following methods:

If you start with a PartDesign Body, you can mix Sheet Metal features with PartDesign features such as pockets or holes.
