Material Inside . The top of the shaded preview of the flange coincides with the top of the fixed sheet metal entity.

Material Outside . The bottom of the shaded preview of the flange coincides with the top of the fixed sheet metal entity.

Bend Outside . The bottom of the shaded preview of the flange is offset by the bend radius.

Bend from Virtual Sharp . This preserves the dimension to the original edge and will vary the bend material condition to automatically match with the flange's end condition.

Bend Centerline . The bend line is placed such that it equally splits the bend region in the flattened part. This is available only for Sketched-Bend features.
