Examination of the FeatureManager Design Tree

A Base Flange feature creates three new features in the FeatureManager design tree:

FM_shm_sheetmetal.gif 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.
FM_shm_baseflange.gif Base-Flange1 Represents the first solid feature of the sheet metal part.
FM_sheetmtl_flatpattern.gif 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
