      <p class="para_topic">The <b class="uiTerm">Edge Rip</b> feature allows you to create an opening along an edge in a hollowed solid. After the <b class="uiTerm">Edge Rip</b> then features like <b class="uiTerm">Sheet Metal Bend</b> and <b class="uiTerm">Unbend/Rebend</b> will turn the body into a Sheet Metal part. The figure below shows a hollowed block with blends. We will apply <b class="uiTerm">Edge Rips</b> along with <b class="uiTerm">Unbends/Rebends</b> and <b class="uiTerm">Reliefs</b> and turn the body into a Sheet Metal part. Apply blends before applying <b class="uiTerm">Edge Rip</b> to ensure correct geometry for succeeding sheet metal operations like <b class="uiTerm">Bend</b> and <b class="uiTerm">Unbend/Rebend</b>.

            <p class="para_item">Create four edge rips. &nbsp;The size of the gap and the extension should be .05. When you create the edge rips on the Tapered faces, you need to pick the outside edge so that the edge rip is clean. If you pick the inside edge for these two rips the rip will have a jagged edge. When you create edge rips on the other two edges select the inside edge. Refer to the figure below for more details. There should always be an extension to ensure the creation of a <b class="uiTerm">Bend</b> or <b class="uiTerm">Unbend/Rebend</b>.
