Double Bend
	Fix Edges	Creates two equal bends between the faces. The bends are tangent or a new face is created between the bends depending on the distance between the faces. The faces are not trimmed or extended.
	45 Degree	Trims or extends sheet metal faces as necessary to create the bends. The bends are tangent or a new sheet metal face is created at a 45 degree angle between the bends depending on the distance between the faces.
	Full Radius	Trims or extends sheet metal faces as necessary and inserts a full radius (half-circle) bend equal to half the distance between the faces.
	90 Degree	Trims or extends sheet metal faces as necessary and inserts 90 degree bends.
		Flip Fixed Edge - Trims or extends the matched edge (highlighted in red on the new face) and fix the first edge. When the option is not selected, the first edge is trimmed or extended and the matched edge is fixed. By default, for 45 Degree, Full Radius or 90 Degree bends, the first selected edge is fixed and the matched edge is trimmed or extended.
