Create contour flange defined by From To selections

Begin and end a contour flange using selections of geometry.

1. On the ribbon, click Sheet Metal tab Create panel Contour Flange .
2. When prompted, select an open profile.
3. At the prompt, select a single edge. The contour flange previews along the selected edge using the default parameters.

   The flange material thickness is created along the selected profile towards the material of the selected edge. To specify that the material thickness is created away from the selected profile relative to the material of the selected edge, click the middle button (under the edge selection box). To use the selected profile as the material mid-plane, click the right button.

4. Use the default Bend Radius, or enter a value.
5. On the lower right of the dialog box, click More.
6. On the Extents Type drop-down list, click From To.
7. In the dialog box, click Offset1, and select model geometry that defines the beginning location of your flange.

   Click Offset2, and select model geometry that defines the ending location of your flange.

   Note: The plane of the loop selected for your contour flange must be perpendicular to the profile sketch plane.
8. To modify any Unfold Options, Bend, or Corner settings that differ from the options defined by Sheet Metal Style, select the dialog box tabs.
9. Click Apply to continue to add contour flanges, or click OK to close the dialog box.
   Note:

   • If necessary, click the right-pointing arrow for Distance, Angle, or Bend Radius to use Measure, Show Dimensions, or List Parameters to set values.
   • When defining extents, you can select planar faces that intersect the base face edge.
