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.
Fixes problems specific to parts with lofted bend features: merges adjacent bends and provides tangential connections with flanges.
It also converts incorrect bends to regular bends. If a single, incorrect bend is selected, it will be repaired. If a 3D solid is selected, then all incorrect bends will be converted to regular bends.

Prompts you in the command bar:
Select flange face or lofted bend face to repair or [switch on Local repairing/Scan for lost details]:
Switch on Local repairing: Select one wrong bend face, thickness faces, flange faces or side edges to repair or [switch on Global repairing]:
Scan for lost details: Enter scan tolerance <0.01>: (Press Enter or specify tolerance value.)
A body with thickness faces perpendicular to the selected face and without adjacent lofted bends will be created.
Notice that the size and position of the opening on the selected face is preserved and the size and position of the opening on the opposite face is adjusted.

Scan for lost details |
Searches and retains model parts that remain after repair as separated bodies. Prompts you: Enter scan tolerance <0.01>: - (Type a value or press enter to accept the default value.) Scan tolerance: The fraction of the initial model volume, will be ignored and only larger bodies will be retained. E.g. if the scan tolerance = 0.25, only parts with a volume that is larger than 25% of the initial body will be retained.

Merge lofted bends:
If switched on, adjacent lofted bends with tangential connections will be merged to a single, lofted bend.

Procedures
Related Commands
SmConvert - automatically recognizes flanges, bends and lofted bends in a 3D solid.
SmDelete - restores a hard edge between two flanges to remove a bend or a junction: removes a flange with all the bends adjacent to it. The adjacent flanges are extended up to a junction configuration and the flange is deleted. Restores geometry removed by a miter.
SmDissolve - removes sheet metal data from the selected faces or entities.
