FeatureManager Design Tree

A base flange feature creates the following features in the FeatureManager design tree:

• Sheet-Metal1. Contains the default bend parameters including bend radius, bend allowance, and relief type. To edit right-click Sheet-Metal1 and select Edit Feature.

• Base-Flange1. Designates the first solid feature of the sheet metal part. To edit the Base-Flange parameters, right-click Base-Flange1 and select Edit Feature.

• Flat-Pattern1. Flattens the sheet metal part. The flat pattern is suppressed by default because the part is in its bent state. To flatten the part, right-click Flat-Pattern1 and select Unsuppress.

When the Flat-Pattern feature is suppressed, new features are automatically inserted above the Flat-Pattern feature in the FeatureManager design tree. When the Flat-Pattern feature is unsuppressed, new features go below it in the FeatureManager design tree and are not shown in the folded part.
