</p><pre class="indent">
- Bend edges that have a high degree of concavity can be problematic, since they can often yield self-intersecting surfaces. Infer Spine will attempt to generate a spine by smoothing out the bend edge. Note that this will change the shape of the General Flange by making it spread out more. This technique is used by Parameters and Build to Sections methods only.
- If the creation mode is Build to Sections, the Infer Spine option will cause the system to generate a spine that is normal to all selected section curves.
- If the creation mode is Punch Vector the system will project the bend edge to a plane that is normal to the punch vector. It will further apply the smoothing algorithms to reduce the amount of concavity.</pre><p class="para_refCategory"></p>
