About Bend Profiles
To assemble a bend profile, you must select a composite curve chain that belongs to a single feature as reference. You can assemble a bend profile along the entire curve chain or along a part of it. The bend profile must be open, that is, the start and end points cannot touch.
You can perform the following actions on bend profiles:
• Assemble a new instance.
• Assemble an existing instance.
• Rotate the profile.
• Move the profile by entering dimensions.
• Move the profile perpendicular to the profile orientation plane by selecting a profile side surface.
• Modify the profile ends.
• Replace a profile with a different size, not with a different profile type.
• Define a T-joint if the bend profile is the attached profile. In the Basic Joints dialog box, see Join one Profile End to Profile.
• Define a joint to selected surface. In the Basic Joints dialog box, see Join one Profile End to Surface.
• Assemble end plates and angle connections on the profile end.
