Rectangular

(Corner)

Switches the selected corner reliefs to rectangular.

Prompts you:

Select face(s), 3d solid(s) to switch relief(s) to rectangular [RECtangular/CIrcular/V-type/SMooth/RIp/ROund/SEttings/Entire model] <Entire model>:

Do the following:

• (option) Choose Settings: You are prompted:
  Enter the extension or auto <0.00>:
  Do one of the following:

• Type a value

• Select Auto to keep the current extension.

• Select the reliefs to be switched or press Enter to select the entire model.

Rectangular

(Bend)

Switches the selected bend reliefs to rectangular:

Circular

Switches the selected corner reliefs to circular.

Only corner reliefs which are related to exactly two bends can be switched to circular reliefs.

Prompts you:

Select face(s), 3d solid(s) to switch relief(s) to circular [RECtangular/CIrcular/V-type/SMooth/RIp/ROund/SEttings/Entire model] <Entire model>:

Do the following:

• (option) Choose Settings: You are prompted:
  Set Extension/Diameter/Reference <Extension>:
   

• Extension:sets the relief extension.
  Prompts you: Enter the extension or auto <0.00>:
  Type a value or select Auto to keep the current extension of the selected reliefs.

• Diameter:sets the relief diameter.
  Prompts you: Enter the desired diameter <Auto>:
  Type a value or select Auto to use the minimal diameter.

• Reference:sets the reference for the relief.
  Prompts you: Select the reference of the relief [Middle/Corner] <Middle>:

• • Middle: the intersection of the bend lines.

  • Corner: the circular arc through the base points of the corresponding rectangular reliefs.

• Select the reliefs to be switched or press Enter to select the entire model.

V-type

Switches the selected corner reliefs to V-type.

Only corner reliefs which are related to exactly two bends can be switched to v-type.

Select face(s), 3d solid(s) to switch relief(s) to V-type [RECtangular/CIrcular/V-type/SMooth/RIp/ROund/SEttings/Entire model] <Entire model>:

Do the following:

• (option) Choose Settings: You are prompted:
  Enter the extension or auto <0.00>:
  Do one of the following:

• Type a value

• Select Auto to keep the current extension.

• Select the reliefs to be switched or press Enter to select the entire model.

Smooth

Switches the selected bend reliefs to smooth.

Prompts you:

Select face(s), 3d solid(s) to switch relief(s) to smooth [RECtangular/CIrcular/V-type/SMooth/RIp/ROund/Entire model] <Entire model>:

Select the bend reliefs to be switched or press Enter to select the entire model.

Smooth bend relief can be applied only if the current relief type is Rectangular.

If not, BricsCAD responds: Unable to build relief geometry for this configuration.

Rip

Switches the selected bend reliefs to rip.

Select face(s), 3d solid(s) to switch relief(s) to round [RECtangular/CIrcular/V-type/SMooth/RIp/ROund/Entire model] <Entire model>:

Select the bend reliefs to be switched or press Enter to select the entire model.

Round bend relief can be applied only if the current relief type is Rectangular.

If not, BricsCAD responds: Unable to build relief geometry for this configuration.

Settings

Allows you to change the parameters which are  used to create the relief. The prompt depends on the target type of relief.

The following settings are available:

rectangular and v-type reliefs: extension

• circular reliefs: minimal extension, diameter of the relief in the unfolded representation, reference to determine the center of the relief in the unfolded representation

• V-type reliefs: extension

Entire Model

All corner or bend reliefs in all sheet metal parts in the model will be switched to the specified type using the specified parameters.

If this option is chosen as the response to the initial prompt, all corner reliefs switch to V-type.
