Sheet Metal - Bend Table

Is the Bend Table shown below, a current feature in the sheet metal preview? I can't find it.

@Anonymous,

 

We don't have bend tables yet, because we do not have a flat pattern.  Bend tables will be a part of our initial release, which we are targeting for July.  Do you have any feedback on the join workflow that we added in the last release?

 

Cheers,

Thanks for the update. I'm unaware of the join workflow. Can you direct me to a video or at least a description?

 

Also, when I modify sheet metal parts using push/pull, move, etc. It won't allow me to unfold. Did I accidentally take away the sheet metal properties to my objects?

@Anonymous,

 

Please look at this post, I made a video on how to join with a flange.

The press/pull, move and extrude commands all need to be enhanced to follow the sheet metal rules.  This is at the top of my list of what to work on after our release.

 

Cheers,

Thanks for the link. Yes, that video did help a lot. I had seen it and have been using it in my workflow. It makes a huge difference. 

 

Also, one of my favorite things I recently learned was to create sheet metal parts as components from the start, rather than bodies. Being able to join them afterward is so rewarding and the level of exactitude is magnificent. 

 

Thanks for working on the press/pull commands to follow the rules. This will be a game changer. 

 

Best,

Oskar
