Fold sheet metal faces

Specify the Location of the fold line. Click to indicate whether the line defines the centerline, start, or end of the bend. Accept the default Bend Radius and Angle specified in the current sheet metal style or enter a different value. Optionally, click the down arrow to use Measure, Show Dimensions, or Parameter List to enter a value. Click Flip Side and Flip Direction to set side and direction of the fold. Click OK.
