      <p class="para_topic">The <b class="uiTerm">Form Features</b> toolbar contains features borrowed from <b class="uiTerm">Modeling</b> that can be used on NX Sheet Metal parts. In general, features that take away material, such as a hole or pocket, can be used to remove material from the bend regions or planar areas of a sheet metal part. Features that add material, such as a boss or pad, should only be used on the planar regions.
