      <p class="para_topic">You can use the <b class="uiTerm">Miter Phase Angle</b> to represent the total summation of bend angles of all parent flanges in the formed state. In general, the <b class="uiTerm">Miter Phase</b> is only specified when creating additional flanges on flanges. As an example, a closed box may be created with flanges that utilize mitered corners with various miter phase angles as illustrated in the following figure.

      <p class="para_topic">In this example, the first and second flanges create with 90&deg; bend angles, &ndash;45&deg; miter angles and 0&deg; phase angles. The third and fourth flanges create as an extension of the first and second flange. The third and fourth flanges create with 90&deg; bend angles, &ndash;45&deg; miter angles and 90&deg; phase angles. After repeating this procedure on the opposite side of the box, the unfolded representation appears as follows:</p>
