Corner seam reference

Adds corner seams to sheet metal faces. You can create seams between faces that are intersecting or coplanar.

Access:

Ribbon: Sheet Metal tab Modify panel Corner Seam

Shape

Controls the shape, gap measurement method, overlap type, and gap parameters for the corner seam.

Shape	Selects model edges and specifies whether to rip corners.
	Corner Seam Specifies new corner geometry between existing coplanar or intersecting sheet metal faces.
	Corner Rip Specifies a ripped corner. Use this option to open a square corner to create a sheet metal corner seam (typically on a converted part model).
	Edges Selects a model edge on each face.
Miter/Seam	This area of the tab is labeled Miter when the edges selected are on coplanar face and labeled Seam when the edges selected are on nonplanar faces. The controls include: gap measurement method used seam gap overlap type gap distance value percentage of overlap (if needed)
	Maximum Gap Distance - Use this option to create a corner seam gap that can be measured in a manner consistent with the use of a physical inspection gage.
	Face/Edge Distance - Use this option to create a corner seam gap that can be measured from the face adjacent to the first edge selected to the second selected edge. This option produces corner seams that are consistent with those produced by releases of Autodesk Inventor before R2008.
	Overlap Option:
	Note: The choices presented depend on the edges or faces selected, and the gap distance measurement method selected previously.
	45 Degrees (coplanar selections/maximum gap distance) Applies the Symmetric Gap seam type to the selected corner seam.
	Symmetric Gap (coplanar selections/face/edge distance) Applies the Symmetric Gap seam type to the selected corner seam.
	Symmetric Gap (non-planar selections/maximum gap distance) Applies the Symmetric Gap seam type to the selected corner seam.
	No Overlap (non-planar selections/face/edge distance) Applies the No Overlap seam type to the selected corner seam.
	Overlap (coplanar selections/maximum gap distance) Applies the Overlap seam type to the selected corner seam.
	Overlap (coplanar selections/face/edge distance) Applies the Overlap seam type to the selected corner seam.
	Overlap (non-planar selections/maximum gap distance) Applies the Overlap seam type to the selected corner seam.
	Overlap (non-planar selections/face/edge distance) Applies the Overlap seam type to the selected corner seam.
	Reverse Overlap (coplanar selections/maximum gap distance) Applies the Reverse Overlap seam type to the selected corner seam.
	Reverse Overlap (coplanar selections/face/edge distance) Applies the Reverse Overlap seam type to the selected corner seam.
	Reverse Overlap (non-planar selections/maximum gap distance) Applies the Reverse Overlap seam type to the selected corner seam.
	Reverse Overlap (non-planar selections/face/edge distance) Applies the Reverse Overlap seam type to the selected corner seam.
Percent Overlap Specifies the overlap as a percentage of the flange thickness using a decimal value ranging from 0 to 1. This option is valid when the overlap type is specified to be: overlap or reverse overlap.
Gap Specifies the distance between the edges (or between a face and an edge) of the corner seam. Enter a value if it is different from the default Thickness value specified in the active Sheet Metal Style. You can also use the real value edit flyout on this field to: Measure a feature distance to use for this value, Show Dimensions to identify a dimension to use for this value, List Parameters that you would substitute for this value or reset the value to the Feature Value in the event that the value was previously changed. You can also specify Thickness to reset this value to the Thickness parameter defined in the sheet metal style in the event that the value was previously edited. NOTE If the overlap type for the corner seam has been set to No Seam this field is disabled.
