Bend Width by Sketch

Scroll

Changing the width of the bend by sketch is available if you build a bend by one edge. When you create a bend by a chain of edges, the width of each bend is equal to the length of the respective edge.

To select a method for setting the width of the bend by sketch use the Method group of buttons. The following options are available:

Along the entire edge — the bend width is equal to the edge length,

a)

b)

Bend Along Whole Edge

a) original model and bend sketch, b) construction result

From sketch — the bend width is set by the user and can be offset in different directions from the sketch plane.

The width values are entered in the Width 1 and Width 2 fields.

To reverse the direction of width addition, press Change Direction button to the right of the field Width 1.

If required, you can build a bend symmetrically in both directions of the sketch plane. To do this, set the Symmetrically toggle switch in position I (enabled). Enter the total bend width in the Bottom Width field. The bend will be built in both directions of the sketch plane.

a)

b)

Bend From Sketch

a) in one direction from the sketch plane, b) in two directions
