SheetMetal AddRelief

Description

The SheetMetal AddRelief command creates corner reliefs, cutouts, at the points where three sections (base plate/walls/flanges) of a sheet metal object meet. Without these reliefs the object will not be unfoldable.

This command is the first of three steps to convert a shell object made with the Part Workbench or PartDesign Workbench into an unfoldable sheet metal object:

  1. SheetMetal AddRelief
  2. SheetMetal AddJunction
  3. SheetMetal AddBend


Make Relief - cut off corners

Usage

  1. Select one or more corner vertex(es).
  2. Activate the SheetMetal AddRelief command using one of the following:
    • The SheetMetal AddRelief button.
    • The SheetMetal → Make Relief menu option.
    • The keyboard shortcut: S then R

Notes

The commands SheetMetal AddRelief, SheetMetal AddJunction, and SheetMetal AddBend work best with hollow cuboids i.e. shell objects with a constant thickness and only 90° angles between faces.

Shell objects can be created with commands from the Part Workbench or the PartDesign Workbench.

To create a hollow cuboid with the Part Workbench:

  1. Create a solid using either:
  2. Use Part Thickness to create a shell object from the solid (Typically with the thickness value of the sheet metal).

To create a hollow cuboid with the PartDesign Workbench:

  1. Create a solid using either:
  2. Use PartDesign Thickness to create a shell object from the solid (Typically with the thickness value of the sheet metal).

  • Base Feature|Link|hidden: Base Feature. Link to the parent feature.

  • _Body|LinkHidden|hidden: Hidden link to the parent body.

{{Properties_Title|Parameters}}

  • base Object|LinkSub: "Base Object". Links to the corner vertexes defining relief positions.

  • relief|Length: "Relief Size". Default: {{value|2,00 mm}}.
