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.

To apply a fillet or chamfer to a sheet metal corner vertex or edge, see Corner break.

When a sheet metal model is active (in the process of being created or edited), additional tools are available:

  • Flange icon Flange - Create a wall for each edge selected, connected to the selected edge with a bend.
  • Hem icon Hem - Create a hem for each edge/face selected, on an existing sheet metal part.
  • tab icon Tab - Add a tab to a sheet metal flange.
  • Sheet metal bend button Bend - Bend a sheet metal model along a reference line, with additional bend control options.
  • Make joint icon 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 icon Corner - Modify a corner type and relief scale.
  • Bend relief icon Bend relief - Modify a bend relief (the small cut made where the bend end meets the free edge), depth and relief width.
  • Modify joint icon Modify joint - Make changes to an existing joint, such as converting a bend to a rip. Currently available through the flat view table.
  • Corner break - Break the corner on existing sheet metal parts by applying a fillet or chamfer. Select a corner edge or vertex and specify corner break type and distance. It is recommended to use this feature after all flanges and joints of the Sheet metal model are finalized.
  • Sheet metal table and flat view icon 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.
