About Planar Bends
A planar bend forces the sheet metal wall around an axis that is normal (perpendicular) to the surface and sketching plane. You sketch a bend line and form the planar bend around the axis using direction arrows. While this type of bend is not utilized on the factory floor, it can help you reach your overall design intent. You can create a planar bend for both angle and roll type bends.
