Sheet Metal - Bend Part - Hide tangent Edge!

[iva.btblan]

I need to hide this tangent line indicated in red.
Does anyone know how to solve this?

Hi Ivan

Where does this line come from?

[iva.btblan]

Origin. iam. with several open plates.
Derived component for IPT.
In IPT. I use Bend part.
The tangent edge line is from the bend.
I can't eliminate the bend line. (bend part).

I can't find an option to hide tangent edges.

At our company we use Inventor 2026.3.

@iva.btblan If possible, could you please share the dataset with me via: [email protected]? That will help us for further investigation. Thank you!

Hello @iva.btblan,

using the bend command Inventor cannot create a closed cylinder, there has to be a gap at the ends.

The edges you are seeing perhaps come from this gap?

[iva.btblan]

Thank you!

I'll prepare it for shipping.

[Yijiang.Cai]

@iva.btblan It should be the common behavior here, even I create the bend part feature from scratch, and the split edge will be created in the face. Now it should be by design, and no option to remove it manually.

[iva.btblan]

Thank you for your attention!

I need to eliminate this tangent line from my project.

I can't allow the line; it's causing confusion.

What's the recommended solution?
Is there another way to create and eliminate this line?

[iva.btblan]

The gap distance is zero.
This line is causing confusion in the factory.
I need to eliminate it.
Is there another way to construct it and avoid this problem?

[iva.btblan]

No detail in this line can be hidden.
I need to remove it in the 3D model.
Avoid display conflict

There are two ways to handle it. If you make the part as a Sheet Metal one (for further Flat Patter extraction from it) then you will have to have a gap. 
If you are not concerned about FP - create a part as a Standard one. You won't get any tangent lines in either of the options. And with the Standard part - you won't get any gap either.

Cheers,

Igor.

Thank you!
I understand!
I need to maintain the link between the files.
I can't create them individually.
Representing what happens in manufacturing.

[iva.btblan]

In manufacturing, this line doesn't exist.

Customers and the factory ask what this line is?
Do we need to weld another sheet of metal?

It causes confusion!

Can anyone help me?

If the lines are true face on face, are you using the View > Visual Style > Shaded with Edges? What if you just change it to shaded?

  

[iva.btblan]

Thank you for your attention.

This option does not solve the problem.
I need to remove the indicated line.
The remaining lines should remain.
The remaining lines are for the planned sheet partitions.

[iva.btblan]

Command: Delete face!
Delete only one edge.
Cannot delete the rest.

Delete face shows an error.

Inventor 2026.3

[iva.btblan]

In the various tests performed.

Delet face command.

It worked once!

Then it didn't anymore!

Could the solution be: To fix it in the programming?

Does anyone know?

[iva.btblan]

I can't solve it.

Is there anyone here who has a deep understanding of Inventor's internal programming?

Could the delete face problem be internal?

Is there another way to solve this problem?

[SBix26]

If you place a shaded view on a drawing, you should be able to hide any edge-- select it, right click and choose Visibility.

Yes, there is. Reading your posts it appears you need more training. I don't understand how did you manage to get a job of such magnitude?

Your level of expertise in Inventor is somewhat on a beginner level.
