Examining the FeatureManager Design Tree
A Base Flange feature creates three new features in the FeatureManager design tree:
Sheet-Metal1. Contains the default bend parameters. To edit the default bend radius, bend allowance, bend deduction, or default relief type, right-click Sheet-Metal1 and select Edit Feature.
Base-Flange1. Represents the first solid feature of the sheet metal part.
Flat-Pattern1. Flattens the sheet metal part. It is suppressed by default as the part is in its bent state. Unsuppress the feature to flatten the sheet metal part.
When Flat-Pattern1 is:
-
suppressed, all new features are inserted above it in the FeatureManager design tree
-
unsuppressed, all new features are inserted below in the FeatureManager design tree and are not shown in the folded part
