(Modify Returns). The Straight Cut and Return options display on the Options Bar. The Straight Cut is a perfectly squared off edge. This option is not available if the sweep end is already in this state.
- Select Return, and enter a value for Angle. Note: A positive return angle moves the sweep end toward the wall. A negative value moves the sweep end away from the wall. For reveals, a positive return value moves the reveal end away from the wall, and a negative value moves the end toward the wall.
