      </table><br><p class="para_topic">With <b class="uiTerm">Flange</b>, you can quickly construct simple bent or &quot;flanged&quot; areas. A flange consists of a cylindrical region known as the &quot;bend&quot; region, and a rectangular region known as the &quot;web.&quot; <b class="uiTerm">Flange</b> also has options for an offset, which creates an extension of the base feature to which the flange is attached. You can set the radius and angle of the flange and specify options for the flange width, the inset distance, and the length of the web area. You can also control the sketch that is used to define the shape of the web portion of the flange.
