      <p class="para_topic">The first selection step lets you pick two linear edges or curves for bend lines. The intersection point of the <b class="uiTerm">Bend Lines</b> defines the corner point for offsetting the <b class="uiTerm">Center Circle</b>. The bisector of the angle between these lines defines the <b class="uiTerm">Center</b> or <b class="uiTerm">Tangent Offset Vector</b>, which is available for preview after this selection step. This step is common for all four types of relief.

This step is optional if two edges have been selected for <b class="uiTerm">Bend Lines</b> (the planar face is inferred in that case). After this selection step, relief outline curves are available for preview.
