SmBendCreate - converts hard edges (sharp edges between flange faces) and junctions into bends.

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.

SmFlangeConnect - closes gaps between two arbitrarily oriented flanges.

SmImprint - splits thickness faces of a sheet metal part by imprinted edges, according to adjacent flanges and bends.

SmJunctionSwitch - allows changing a symmetrical junction feature to one with overlapping faces.

SmReliefCreate - makes proper corner and bend reliefs. Corner reliefs are built on corners which have three or more adjacent flanges. Bend reliefs are built on the start and end of a flange edge.
