      <p class="para_topic">Use <b class="uiTerm">Edge Rip</b> when you want to rip along corner edges, for example when converting a solid model to a sheet metal part. <b class="uiTerm">Edge Rip</b> can also be used any time you need to separate two parts of a model so that they can act independently. Use this command if you want your edges ripped as a separate activity, rather than as part of the <b class="uiTerm"><a class="links" href="javascript:void(0)" onclick="top.openFile('nx_sheet_metal/conv_to_shmtl_over.html');return(false);">Convert to Sheetmetal</a></b> process.
      </p>
      <p class="para_topic">An additional feature of <b class="uiTerm">Edge Rip</b> lets you rip along a linear sketch. You could use this capability, for example, to separate two parts of a flange and bend one of them.
