Example: Maintain the Length of the Bend Region in a Spinal Bend
In the following figures, a rod is bent along a spine. When Preserve Length is not selected, the bend region extends the entire length of the spine. When Preserve Length is selected, the bend region maintains its original length after it is bent.
