Data

{{Properties_Title|Base}}

  • Label|String: Default value: The user editable name of this object, it may be any arbitrary UTF8 string.

Limitations

  • The sheet metal should have a constant thickness.
  • Flat faces should not contain split lines.
  • Flat faces must be truly planar and not B-spline approximations.
  • Faces of bend angles must be truly cylindrical and also not B-spline approximations.
  • The Unfold feature is not parametric. If the model is modified you have to unfold it again.
