When bending sheet metal, you may want to create sharp bends instead of round bends.
When bending sheet metal, you can create round bends instead of sharp bends. The Insert Bends feature also allows you to create rips.
Parts with conical faces can also be made of sheet metal.
It is possible to create a solid part, then convert it to sheet metal to add the bends and sheet metal features.
When you click Insert Bends on the Sheet Metal toolbar, or click Insert > Sheet Metal > Bends, two distinct stages are applied to the sheet metal part.
