From the Sheet Metal section of the action bar, click Flange.
Select an edge or a spine.
When you select an edge, the contextual icon Select Tangent Edges appears near the selected edge in the
geometry. You can click it to select all tangent edges to the selected edge.
The Spine field is updated with the selected edge and a
preview of the flange is created.
When
you drag the handle, you can see the preview. Shaded preview appears on the release of
the drag handle.
To remove the selections, click , and select Clear
all selections.
To define the flange parameters, do the following:
Specify the flange
Length by dragging the handle or enter a length value. Use
the options next to the Length field to specify the direction of the flange.
Note:
The
length is always measured using the lowest external point of the flange.
Select an option for the Measure by list. Specify if the
flange is measured by Standard length, Inner length, Outer length, or Extrapolated
length.
Enter a value in the
Angle field. Specify whether the angle is inner (acute) angle
or outer (obtuse) angle .
From the Position list, select the support type.
Default: Starts the flange from the edge.
Trim support: Trims the selected edge to create the flange.
Important:
The Trim Support option only works for
planar supports.
Flange plane:
Enables the planar face of the flange to lie in the orientation plane.
The selected
plane can be:
A reference
plane.
A translated plane.
Any planar face or surface.
It must be perpendicular to the selected edge and intersect its support face:
Warning:
The Angle list disappears. The angle
in this case is the orientation angle measured with respect to the selected plane
support.
Optional:
Click to
reverse the material side. Flip Orientation.
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.
Optional: From the Bends, tick the Override default
settings check box and enter the required radius and K-Factor.
