Base Flange Starting Conditions

You can specify starting conditions when creating base flanges such as sketch planes, surfaces, and offsets.

In the Base Flange PropertyManager, under From, specify a starting condition:

Starting Condition	Description
Sketch Plane	Starts the base flange from the plane on which the sketch is located.
Surface/Face/Plane	Starts the base flange from the specified surface, face, or plane. The entity must be planar.
