Makes proper corner and bend reliefs. Corner reliefs are built on corners which have three or more adjacent flanges. Bend reliefs are built at the start and end of a flange edge. Command supports the creation of reliefs on wrong bends.
The command automatically decides whether a relief has to be created for given bend. The size is either automatically chosen by default from the Mechanical Browser for Sheet Metal in the drawing or can be entered by user. In order to force the creation of a bend relief for the given bend, the user has to select the face of desired bend. In this case a bend relief will be created, even if the command decides a bend relief is not needed (i.e. it detects there are no clashes or stretches of the material).
Accessing the Command
command bar: smreliefcreate
menu bar: Sheet Metal | Create Relief
toolbar: Sheet Metal | Create Relief
ribbon: Sheet Metal | Modify | Create Relief
Quad cursor menu: Sheet Metal | Create Relief
: SmReliefCreate
Prompts you in the command bar:
Select a hard edge, bend face, flange face or 3D solid [Entire model]: <Entire model>: (Select an item.)
Enter relief size by bend radius ratio or [force Bend reliefs/Auto] <Auto>: (Type a value or choose an option.)

SmBendCreate - converts hard edges (sharp edges between flange faces) and junctions into bends.
SmConvert - automatically recognizes flanges, bends and lofted bends in a 3D solid.
SmDelete - removes a bend or a junction by restoring a hard edge between two flanges; removes a flange with all the bends adjacent to it. The adjacent flanges are extended up to a junction configuration with the flange being deleted. Removes miter by restoring geometry being cut by the feature.
SmDissolve - removes sheet metal data from the selected faces or entities.
SmFlangeEdge - creates one or more flanges to a sheet metal part by pulling one or more edges of an existing flange.
SmJunctionCreate - converts hard edges (sharp edges between flange faces) and bends into junctions.
SmReliefSwitch - converts corner reliefs to circular, rectangular or V-type reliefs. Converts bend reliefs to smooth, round, rip or rectangular bend reliefs. Allows to change the parameters of existing corner reliefs.
SmSplit - splits a flange along a line drawn on its face.
