How can I add a flange to a plate?


Solution

Below is the workflow that will allow you to add a flange to a structural plate.

  1. Place a Plate in your model from Building Design > Structural > Structural Elements > Plate
  2. Now add the flange from Building Design > Structural > Structural Elements > Base Plate > Add Flange

  3. You can choose options from the placement tab where Tool Mode, Flange Length, Front Edge Distance, Back Edge Distance, Bend Radius, Radius to Inner Edge, and Bend Angle are defined.
