Data Label ( String): Default value: Extend (+ a sequential number for second and following items).

It also has the following additional properties:

In an extension operation it is recommended to leave the property Data Refine set to true (default).Ī SheetMetal Extend object is derived from a Part Feature object and inherits all its properties.

Three outline sketches and their resulting extensions: separate triangle plate with a rectangular cut-out, circle without clearance → unfold solid is split at an unexpected position

Shapes other than rectangles may behave little bit strange and even though the object can be unfolded, the result will not turn out as expected.Each cut-out will have a cuboid shape, no matter what shape the corresponding outline sketch is.Just one outline touching an opposite face is enough to create extension geometry from all outlines of the sketch. A sketch can contain more than one outline.Īfter inserting a sketch, at least one of its outlines must at least touch one opposite face or the tool will fail to create any extension or cut-out.Three profiles → position of the sketches → results without cut-outs → final results Notes

Set the property Data Offset to adjust the clearance around the extension.Set the property Data Use Subtraction to true to create cut-outs to make room for the extensions.Add a coplanar outline sketch to the property Data Sketch.Activate the SheetMetal Extrude command (see above).Change the value of the property Data length to adjust the length of the extension.The SheetMetal → Extend Face menu option.Activate the SheetMetal Extrude command using one of the following:.Select one or more edge face(s) to be extended.Three profiles with outline sketches to add → three results Usage Simple Extension If an outline sketch is added it creates interlocking geometry to close a profile: It creates a simple extension along the face normal of the selected edge face: The SheetMetal Extrude command extends a sheet metal plate at a selected edge face.
