Description
Usage
To add a Bend:
- Switch to the SheetMetal Workbench.
- Start with a base plate or sheet, select one or more edges to receive a bend.
- Click on the Bend tool to add a bend.
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:
- Method 1: Part Cube
- Method 2: An extruded solid made with Part Extrude from either a:
- Draft Rectangle or a
- Draft Wire or a
- Sketch
- Use Part Thickness to create shell (Typically with the thickness value of the sheet metal.)
- Method 3: PartDesign Body containing either an
- additive box or a
- PartDesign Pad made from a Sketch.
- Use PartDesign Thickness to create shell (Typically with the thickness value of the sheet metal.)
