Prompts you in the command bar:
Select edges on flanges to create closed hem or [open Hem/Teardrop/Round]: (Select edges, then right-click to proceed.)
Entities/subentities in set: 1
Position the end of the closed hem [Length/Width/Toggle tapering]: (Specify a point in 3D space or type a value in the dynamic length field)
Command Options
Command options vary upon your choice of hem type.
Command options for Closed hem
Option |
Description |
Dynamic dimensions |
Define the length of the hem by typing values in the dynamic dimension fields:
|
Length |
Input the length of the hem. |
Width(*) |
By default, the hem width is equal to the length of the selected edge. The Width option defines a different width. Prompts you: Enter first offset [Back/Skip] <Skip>: - (Do one of the following:)
Enter second offset [Back/Skip] <Skip>: - (Do one of the following:)
|
Toggle tapering |
Toggle how a new hem fits the border of an existing flange. Two variants are possible: The option only works if the edges of a flange at the corner are not at 90°. |
(*) The Width option is not available if multiple edges are selected.

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 the flange is deleted. Removes a miter by restoring the geometry.
SmDissolve - removes sheet metal data from the selected faces.
SmFlangeBase - creates a base (initial) flange of a sheet metal part from a closed planar profile.
SmFlangeEdge - creates one or more flanges to a sheet metal part by pulling one or more edges of an existing flange.
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.
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).
