Deselect the geometry that is out of the plane.</p><pre class="indent">No intersection curve found for bend.</pre><p class="para_topic">The planes that define a bend do not intersect. They are probably parallel. The multibend bracket does not support 180 bends.</p><pre class="indent">Insufficient geometry specified to define a plane.</pre><p class="para_topic">A plane could not be created from the selected geometry. Select additional geometry to define a plane.</p><pre class="indent">Unable to extrude the sketch.</pre><p class="para_topic">The sketch could not be extruded into a solid. Check to see if all active sketch geometry forms closed loops.</p><pre class="indent">Unable to create the multibend bracket.</pre><p class="para_topic">The bracket could not be created. Check to see if the bend center lines lie inside the sketch outline.</p><pre class="indent">Failed to unfold geometry.</pre><p class="para_topic">The selected geometry could not be unfolded to the base plane.</p><pre class="indent">No bends have been defined.</pre><p class="para_topic">No bend nodes have been defined for this multibend bracket. You must define at least one bend node as a child of the base plane.</p><pre class="indent">Unfolded reference geometry creates ambiguous loops.</pre><p class="para_topic">The sketcher requires all reference geometry to form any number of open or closed loops. This message indicates that the loops are ambiguous, such as two triangle (six lines) that touch at one vertex. You can usually avoid this problem by deselecting some of the reference geometry.</p><pre class="indent">Unable to determine bend direction from selected geometry.</pre><p class="para_topic">The system determines each bend direction by comparing the centroids of the reference geometry of the bend node and that of its parent node. This error indicates that the system failed to determine a definitive direction, for example, when the centroid of the selected geometry lies on the bend center line of the bend node.</p><pre class="indent">Sheet Metal Bend crosses into another bend area.</pre><p class="para_topic">When the bend areas of two bends intersect within the perimeter of the sketch, either one or both of the bends should be moved (by selecting difference reference geometry), changing the bend radii, or by editing the perimeter of the sketch. If you edit the sketch, you must introduce a relief between the bend areas such that the areas are completely separated.</p><pre class="indent">Sheet Metal Bend application curve does not project onto selected base face.</pre><p class="para_topic">The bend center line of a bend does not project onto the sketch. You should either edit the sketch to expand its perimeter, or select different reference geometry for that bend so that it will reposition the bend center line.</p><pre class="indent">Sheet Metal Bend application curve produces more than one bend area.
Sheet Metal Bend does not support holes/cutouts inside bend area.</pre><p class="para_topic">These messages refer to limitation of the Bend feature. The bend area of a bend node cannot be completely split by interior loops in the sketch (holes or cutouts). Also, there can be no interior loops that fall completely within the bend area. When this is required, apply bend, slot, or cutout features to the bend area of the multibend bracket.</p><pre class="indent">Tool body completely outside Target Body.</pre><p class="para_topic">This error can occur if you use the unite option with an attachment edge bend node. If the extruded sketch does not properly align with the selected attachment edge, the Unite feature will fail. Redefine the sketch perimeter such that it aligns with the selected attachment edge.</p>
