Delimiting of Bend

This command adds edges from start to end of bend to the lateral faces.

Creation stages / Use:

Select the Sheet metal > Delimiting of bend... command from the drop-down menu.

Select the (internal or external) face of on or several bend(s).
Validate the creation of delimiting with the button.

Modifications / Additional information:

This command is particularly useful when we wish to do a covering with a sheet created from the extrusion of a sketch. In this case, the lateral faces are only made up of a single face which does not enable the desired result to be achieved.

Example:


Creation of a sheet on sketch from the red sketch. We can see that the lateral face (green) is only made up of a single face.	Creation of a flange on an edge.	During the creation of a covering operation, one part of the lateral face cannot be selected.


Bends delimiting, the red edge is then added to the lateral faces of the bend.	After delimiting, the covering operation can be carried out on a part of the lateral face.
