Creates sheet metal part from a planar polyline by extruding it orthogonally to the plane of the polyline.
Accessing the Command
command bar: smextrude
menu bar: Sheet Metal | Bend | Extrude Polyline
toolbar: Sheet Metal | Extrude Polyline
ribbon: Sheet Metal | Create | Extrude Polyline
: SmExtrude
Prompts you in the command bar:
Select a polyline: (Select a polyline.)
The polyline is extruded dynamically.
Specify height of extrusion: (Pick a point or type a value.)
The thickening direction of the extruded surface is applied for each flange separately, in order to preserve the overall dimensions of polyline:
