Contour roll features are able to participate in subsequent mirror or pattern features. In the previous illustration:
- A contour roll feature is patterned in a radial pattern with four total occurrences.
- A straight contour flange segment is added to the model and a radial pattern is created with three total occurrences.
- A short, straight contour flange segment is added. This segment does not reach the mid-plane which passes through the radial pattern axis.
- The short contour flange segment is mirrored and joins the exposed detail face of the final occurrence of the original contour roll pattern element.
- The mirror operation leaves a gap between the two short contour flange segments allowing:
- The entire model to be unfolded flat. The flat pattern shows both bend and roll centerlines.
