Add the recognition to bend line for bend plates

[bigcarl5000kg]

Advance steel cannot automatically recognize and dimension the bend line at bend plates. Currently, most users solve this with the help of a trick and replace these objects with a folded beam.

It is necessary to add the definition for bend line (system line) for bend plates to the system. I don't understand how such a BASIC THING can be missing in 3D CAD - for so many years.

You would think that this would be an easy fix as bend lines can already be recognised in folded beams.

Why then is there a separate object "Folded plate" in Advance steel? Not to be fully functional? To replace it with another object, such as a "Folded beam"? This gives all users a guaranteed big sense. 

Man does not need replacement solutions but functional base entities (and of those illogically functioning there are quite a few).

Let's not be David Copperfield, let's be users of working software.

Note at the end:

They can not recognize the contours of the shaped plate too (green marks).

They cannot calculate correctly the size of the bent shaped plate (already in the model data), it takes into account the least circumscribed square rotated around the object (blue shape here, it does not respect also the UCS in which the object was created). The object description does not match the object dimensions.
