      </table><br><p class="para_topic">You may also need to define the <b class="uiTerm">Miter Relief Radius</b> for <b class="uiTerm">Simple Miters</b>. Apply this relief radius to the beginning of the non&ndash;linear taper. If you are creating a corner using two flanges, you will need to specify a small relief to avoid a non&ndash;manifold error. In addition, this relief might represent a realistic cutting tolerance between the two adjacent mitered flanges based on the width of the cutting tool that is used to fabricate the part.

      <div class="title_division">Miter full</div>
      <p class="para_division">A <b class="uiTerm">Full Miter</b> lets you create a fully closed mitered corner between two flanges in the formed state. With the <b class="uiTerm">Full Miter</b> option, the outside and inside faces of each flange actually meet each other. The sides of the sheet metal are not perpendicular to the top and bottom faces. Currently, a miter relief radius is not available with the <b class="uiTerm">Full Miter</b> option.
