Create contour roll in sheet metal

You can create a contour roll as a regular or a base feature.

1. Create or share a sketch consisting of lines, arcs, splines, and elliptical arcs (as required) within your model.

   or

   For a base feature, create a profile sketch consisting of lines, arcs, splines, and elliptical arcs (as required). Include a line to represent the axis of rotation in your sketch or ensure that your sketch is positioned to use one of the default axes as the rotation axis

   Note: Like the Contour Flange feature, the Contour Roll feature transforms sharp sketch corners into bends in the finished part using the bend radius value.
2. Exit sketch.
3. On the Sheet Metal tab, Create panel, click Contour Roll. The Contour Roll dialog box displays.
4. Click the profile geometry to revolve.
5. In the Contour Roll dialog box, click the axis selection command.
6. Click the axis of rotation.
   Note: Rotation axis geometry must be contained within the sketch containing the profile geometry.
7. If necessary, change the direction of the material offset from the profile curve.
8. If necessary, change the Rolled Angle value or direction.
   Note: You can use a Rolled Angle value of 360 degrees only for profiles with a single, straight line. The angle value cannot equal 360 degrees for multi-segment profiles.
9. Optionally, select an alternative Unroll Method.
   Note: Alternative Unroll Methods can require additional graphical selections or value entries.
10. Optionally, select an alternative Unfold Rule.
11. Optionally, enter an alternative Bend Radius value.
12. Click OK to create the Contour Roll and close the dialog box.
