Creating User Flanges

You can generate user flanges from a spine and a user-defined profile


Before you begin: Create a wall and sketch a profile tangent to the support.
  1. From the Sheet Metal section of the action bar, click User Flange .
  2. Select a spine or an edge.

    Note: You can select all the tangentially contiguous edges forming the spine.

  3. Select the profile.

    When you select an edge, the contextual icon Select Tangent Edges appears near the selected edge in the geometry. You can click to select all tangent edges to the selected edge.

    The selection box is updated with the selected edge and a preview of the user flange is created.

    To remove the selections made, click , and select Clear all selections.

  4. Optional: From the Limiting Geometry, select the reference 1 and reference 2 to limit the geometry.

    Note: Choose the Limiting Geometry references from one of these: reference plane, end vertex of an edge, or point on the edge.

  5. Optional: From the K-Factor, find the Override default settings check box and enter the required K-Factor.
