Sheet Metal Corner
Modify a corner on a sheet metal model by selecting an edge, vertex, or face of the existing corner.
In the Feature toolbar:
Modify a corner on a sheet metal model by selecting an edge, vertex, or face of the existing corner.
The Corner feature modifies a corner on a sheet metal model by selecting an edge, vertex, or face of the existing corner. Note that you cannot select multiple corners. Each Corner must have its own feature created.
Click the Corner feature on the Part Studio toolbar. Select an edge, vertex, or face of a corner on the sheet metal model in the graphics area. Select the type of corner relief: Square - Sized, Rectangle - Scaled, Round - Sized, Round - Scaled, Closed, and Simple. For sized corners, specify the Corner relief width measurement. For scaled corners, specify the Corner relief scale. This is a value between 1.00 and 2.00.
Click the checkmark to accept the new corner.

When a sheet metal model is active (in the process of being created or edited), additional tools are available:
- Flange - Create a wall for each edge selected, connected to the selected edge with a bend.
- Hem - Create a hem for each edge/face selected, on an existing sheet metal part.
- Tab - Add a tab to a sheet metal flange.
- Bend - Bend a sheet metal model along a reference line, with additional bend control options.
- Make joint - Convert the intersection of two walls into a joint feature, either a bend (walls joined by cylindrical geometry) or a rip (small gap between two walls).
- Corner - Modify a corner type and relief scale.
- Bend relief - Modify a bend relief (the small cut made where the bend end meets the free edge), depth and relief width.
- Modify joint - Make changes to an existing joint, such as converting a bend to a rip. Currently available through the flat view table.
- Sheet metal table and flat view - Open and close the Rip/Bend tables and the visualization of the sheet metal model flat pattern. Use this table to convert rips to bends and vice versa.
