This task illustrates how to create a sheet metal part using an existing Part, that is recognizing the thin part shapes of the part as created using the Part Design workbench or from a CATIA Version 4 Solid for example. | |||

Open the WallScenario1.CATPart document from the samples directory. |

The document contains a part created in the Part Design workbench and it looks like this: | ||||

You can modify a few of these parameters. The Thickness parameter cannot be modified because it is based, like the bend extremities and radius, on the initial solid geometry . However you can modify these parameters (bend radius and bend extremities) to be taken into account for sheet metal features other than the "recognized" ones. The bend allowance, being used to unfold the part, and the corner relief affect all features, and therefore can be edited even for "recognized" features. |

|
||||
The solid is now a Sheet Metal part. All the features are displayed in the specification tree. | ||||
