SmFlangeEdge

Dynamic dimensions

Define the height and angle of the flange by typing values in the dynamic height (1) and angle (2) entry fields:

Enter a value in the height field, then press the TAB key to jump to the angle field.

Type a value in the angle field, then do one of the following:

• Press Enter twice to accept the current values.

• Press the TAB key to enter a different value in the height field, then press Enter twice to accept the current values.

• Keep pressing the TAB key to switch between the height and angle field to enter a different value, then press Enter twice to accept the current values.

Angle

Allows to first define the angle, then the height of the flange.

Length

Allows to first define the length, then the angle of the flange.

Taper Angle(*)

Allows to create a flange with one or two tapered side faces.

Prompts you:

Enter first taper angle [Back/Skip] <Skip>:

Do one of the following:

• Type a value in the taper angle entry field to define the taper angle for the first side face.

• Select the Skip option to keep the first side face orthogonal.

• Select the Back option to undo the current Taper angle  procedure.

Enter second taper angle [Back/Skip] <Skip>:

Do one of the following:

• Type a value in the taper angle entry field to define the taper angle for the second side face.

• Select the Skip option to keep the second side face orthogonal.

• Select the Back option to undo the current Taper angle  procedure.

Position the end of the wall [Angle/Length/Taper angle/Width]:

Do one of the following;

• Click a point or use the Dynamic Dimensions procedure to define the flange height and angle.

• Choose the Width option to define a width different from the length of the selected edge.

• Choose the Taper angle option again to define different taper angles.

Width(*)

By default the flange width equals the length of the selected edge. The Width option allows to define a different width.

Prompts you:

Enter first offset [Back/Skip] <Skip>:

Do one of the following:

• Type a value in the dynamic field to define the offset from the start point of the edge.

• Select the Skip option to keep the first side edge of the flange at the start point of the edge.

• Select the Back option to undo the current Width procedure.

Enter second offset [Back/Skip] <Skip>:

Do one of the following:

• Type a value in the dynamic field to define the offset from the end point of the edge.

• Select the Skip option to keep the second side edge of the flange at the end point of the edge.

• Select the Back option to undo the current  Width procedure.

Position the end of the wall [Angle/Length/Taper angle/Width]:

Do one of the following;

• Click a point or use the Dynamic Dimensions procedure to define the flange height and angle.

• Choose the Taper angle  option to define tapered side faces

• Choose the Width option again to define different offsets.
