About Edge Treatment
You can use the Edge Treatment tab of the Flange tool to define the way that two nontangent wall segments of a swept flange wall intersect. You can also use the Edge Rip tool to apply edge treatment to the intersection of nontangent wall segments. You can define edge treatment settings during feature creation, or you can predefine them using sheet metal parameters or in the Edge Treatment area of the Sheetmetal Preferences dialog box.
You can apply the following types of edge treatment at the intersection of nontangent wall segments created using the flange wall or edge rip tools:
• Open—Creates a standard open edge rip.
You can select the Close corner check box to completely close the corner.
• Gap—Creates a gap along the edge rip according to a specified dimension.
• Blind—Creates a gap along the edge rip by specifying two dimensions.
• Overlap—Creates a standard overlapping edge rip.
