Description

Converts corner reliefs to circular, rectangular or V-shaped reliefs. Converts bend reliefs to smooth, round, rip or rectangular bend reliefs. This command also allows to change the parameters of existing corner reliefs.

Options within the command

V-type
Switches the selected corner reliefs to V-type.
Note: Only corner reliefs which are related to exactly two bends can be switched to v-type.
RECtangular
Switches the selected bend reliefs/ corner reliefs to rectangular.
Bend Corner
CIrcular
Switches corner reliefs to circular.
Note: Only corner reliefs which are related to exactly two bends can be switched to circular reliefs.
relief Diameter
Specifies the relief diameter.
Auto
Uses the minimal diameter.
REference point
Specifies the reference point for the relief.
Middle
The reference point is at the intersection of the bend lines.
Corner
The reference point is at the circular arc through the base points of the corresponding rectangular reliefs.
from Global settings
Uses the value from global sheet metal settings of document.
SMooth
Switches the selected bend reliefs to smooth.
Note: Smooth bend reliefs can be applied only if the current relief type is Rectangular. If not, BricsCAD displays the message: Unable to build relief geometry for this configuration.
RIp
Switches the selected bend reliefs to rip.
Note: Rip bend reliefs can be applied only if the current relief type is Rectangular. If not, BricsCAD displays the message: Unable to build relief geometry for this configuration.
ROund
Switches the selected bend reliefs to round.
Note: Round bend reliefs can be applied only if the current relief type is Rectangular. If not, BricsCAD displays the message: Unable to build relief geometry for this configuration.
relief EXtension
Specifies the relief extension.
Auto
Keep the current 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.
Note: If this option is chosen as the response to the initial prompt, all corner reliefs switch to V-type.
