Prompts you in the command bar:
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:

SmConvert - automatically recognizes flanges, bends and lofted bends in a 3D solid.
SmDissolve - removes sheet metal data from the selected faces or entities.
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.
SmLoft - creates sheet metal part with lofted bends and flanges from two non-coplanar curves.
SmParametrize - creates a consistent set of 3D constraints for a selected sheet metal part.
SmRepair - restores the 3D solid model of a sheet metal part by thickening one of its sides (all thickness faces become perpendicular to flange faces).
