Select closed polyline or a region: (Select a closed polyline or a region)
Entities/subentities in set: 1
Select closed a polyline or a region: (Select another closed polyline or a region or right click to confirm)
Make flange base Up/Middle/Down/<Accept model>: (Select an option or press the Ctrl-key to cycle the various options; press Enter or right click to accept the selected option.)
A base flange is created for each selected closed polyline or region.
In the Mechanical Browser a body and a flange are added for each entity:

SmExtrude - creates sheet metal part from a planar polyline by extruding it orthogonally to the plane of the polyline.
SmFlangeEdge - creates one or more flanges to a sheet metal part by pulling one or more edges of an existing flange.
SmFlip - swaps sides of a selected flange so that reference faces are on the other geometric side of the flange.
