Creates a folded hem along sheet metal edges.
A fold can strengthen the part, or eliminate sharp edges. You can create single, double, rolled, and teardrop hems.

- Access Width Extents options. Specifies the extents of the hem: full edge, width, or offset.
- Edge
- Creates a hem the full length of the selected face edge.
- Width
- Creates a hem of a specified width at a specified offset from a selected vertex, work point, work plane, or planar face on the edge of a face. You can also specify that the hem is a specific width, centered on the midpoint of the selected edge.
- Offset
- Creates a hem offset from two selected vertices, work points, work planes or planar faces on the edge of a face.
- From To
- Creates a hem with a width defined by selecting part geometry (vertices, work points, work planes, or planar faces) that defines the from and to extents for the hem.
