Description

The SheetMetal AddWall command creates a bend on a selected edge.

Usage

To add a Bend:

  1. Switch to the SheetMetal Workbench.
  2. Start with a base plate or sheet, select one or more edges to receive a bend.
  3. Click on the Bend tool to add a bend.

Note: To create a base plate use a closed 2D outline - preferably a Sketch - with the Make Base Wall command.
Alternatively you can generate a base plate with one of the following methods as well:

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

Properties

Data

Base

  • DataLabel: User name of the object in the Tree view.

Parameters

  • Dataangle: Bend angle.
  • Dataextend1: Extends the wall on the left side.
  • Dataextend2: Extends the wall on the right side.
  • Datagap1: Gap from the left side.
  • Datagap2: Gap from the right side.
  • Datainvert: Invert bend direction.
  • Datalength: Length of the wall.
  • Datamiterangle1: Bend miter angle on the left side.
  • Datamiterangle2: Bend miter angle on the right side.
  • Dataradius: Bend radius.
  • Datarelief Type: Rectangle or Round. Enabled only when a gap value is set.
  • Datareliefd: Relief depth. Enabled only when a gap value is set.
  • Datareliefw: Relief width. Enabled only when a gap value is set.
  • Datakfactor: K factor (also known as neutral factor) for the bend. Used to calculate bend allowance when unfolding.
  • Dataunfold: False (default) or True. If true, unfolds the bend.
