I would love to have an easy way to snap sheet metal flanges to the horizontal or vertical. It would take the leg work out of figuring the angle needed, and would allow the models to update more accurately.

An example use case:

When designing a Square to Round with a pan on the square side, the angle the flanges require change as the hole location, height and sizes all change. Being able to snap a flange to the vertical would maintain the pan while being able to modify other parameters, and with a more accurate angle.

Below I posted 2 photos: the first one is a Square to round designed with a 4" height change from the square to the round. The second image is changed to have a 5" height change. You can see how the pan corners are now intersecting because the flange angle needs to be adjusted to accommodate.

Thanks.
