Using Rip Sketches with Convert to Sheet Metal

When a rip is required to create a sheet metal part, you can use 2D and 3D sketches to define the rip. You must create the sketch before converting the solid body to a sheet metal part.

To use a rip sketch when converting to sheet metal:

  1. Open the part.
  2. Click Convert to Sheet Metal (Sheet Metal toolbar) or Insert > Sheet Metal > Convert To Sheet Metal .
  3. In the PropertyManager, under Sheet Metal Parameters, select the fixed face.
  4. Under Bend Edges, select the bend edges.
  5. Under Rip Sketches, select the sketch you created to define the rip.
