Edge Flanges – advanced options
The Edge Flange that we previously added was a very simple example on a single edge, but we can also add Edge Flanges to multiple edges, control the flange profile, and more.
Adding multiple edges within the same Edge Flange feature
It's not necessary to create a new Edge Flange for each edge – multiple flanges can be made within the same feature:
- Continuing with the part from the previous section (see Figure 2.13), edit the Edge Flange feature by left or right-clicking on the Edge-Flange feature in the FeatureManager Design Tree and selecting the Edit Feature option.
- To add multiple edges, first, ensure that you have the Edge selection box selected (Figure 2.14, (i)), and then, left-click on the edges where you wish to add flanges. Try selecting the two long sides of the Base Flange, in addition to the one short side that was already selected (Figure 2.14).
