Dependence of Segments

The following example illustrates the connections between the segments and their dependencies.

Isometric view (left) of a bent plate and the plan view (right)

  • The base plate, or initial flat plate is labeled with (1).
  • Segment (2) is added to the base plate (1) using a bending angle of 45°.
  • Segment (4) is added to segment (2) also using a bending angle of 45°, but in addition it is equipped with a front and rear (positive) distance to the edge.
  • Segment (3) is added to the base plate (1) with a bending angle of 90°.
Dependency: If you delete or modify segment (2), you also delete or modify the dependent segment (4).
