Bend by Sketch


Extends and bends a sheet body (a flat object) along a selected sketch defined by a polyline.
 


NOTE: The polyline must begin on the initial edge of the sheet body. In addition the sketch must be on the plane which is perpendicular to the initial edge. Finally, the polyline must be comprised of only line segments.
