- Selects profile geometry.
-
- Selects the rotation axis. Rotation axis geometry must be contained within the sketch containing the profile geometry.
- Flip Side
or 
- Click to offset the material thickness to the other side of the selected profile.
- Both Sides
- Click to offset the material thickness equally to both sides of the selected profile.
-
- Rolled Angle
- Specifies the value of the angular sweep of the rolled section. Defaults to 90 degrees. Angle value cannot equal 360 degrees for multi-segment profiles. You can use a rolled angle value of 360 degrees for profiles with a single, straight line.
- or
- When active, click to sweep the Contour Roll in the direction opposite of the previewed direction.
-
- Click to sweep the Contour Roll equally both clockwise and counter-clockwise from the selected profile.
- Unfolding Unrolling
- Specifies the method to unroll the Contour Roll feature. These methods all derive a Developed Length by multiplying the Rolled Angle by a Neutral Radius. They differ by the type of input provided:
- Unroll Method
-
- Centroid Cylinder
- An axis parallel to the revolute axis passes through the evaluated Centroid location providing input to define a neutral cylindrical surface. Default method.
- Custom Cylinder
- Specifies a sketched line that defines the surface of the cylindrical neutral surface.
- Developed Length
- Specifies the value that drives the developed length of the flattened rolled segment.
- Neutral Radius
- Parametrically determines a value for the neutral radius (when multi-segment profiles are considered).
- KFactor
- Method used for single-segment linear profiles.
- Unfold Rule
- Specifies an Unfold Rule that differs from the Unfold Rule specified in the active Sheet Metal Rule. Selection is from a drop-down list.
- Neutral Radius
- Displays the value of the neutral radius used when deriving a developed length using a rolled angle.
- Unrolled Length
- Informational display. Displays the length value of the unrolled Contour Roll feature.
- Bend Radius
- Specifies the value for the bend radius. Defaults to the system parameter BendRadius. Disabled when a single, linear profile is selected.
