- Profile 1
- Output
-
- Die Form
- Enables smooth, die formed output of the resulting Lofted Flange.
- Press Brake
- Enables faceted, press brake output of the resulting Lofted Flange
- Converge
- Specifies that bends of the flattened faceted sections converge near a point. Available only for Press Brake output type.
- Facet Control
- Specifies a method to control the size of the resulting faceted faces:
- A Chord Tolerance Input value determines the maximum distance from the arc segment to the face segment chord.
- B Facet Angle Input value determines the maximum angle to the chord segment at the facet face vertex.
- C Facet Distance Input value determines the maximum width of the facet face (length of the chord) when subdividing the arc profile.
Option is available only for Press Brake output type.
- Control Value
- Specifies a value to control the facet type. Available only for Press Brake output type. Images display for facet types:
- Chord Tolerance
- Facet Angle
- Facet Distance
- Chord Tolerance
- Bend Radius
- Specifies a bend radius value that differs from the value in the active Sheet Metal Rule.
- Die Form
Unfold Options Tab
- Unfold Style
- Specifies a previously defined Unfold Rule that differs from the Unfold Rule in the active Sheet Metal Rule.
