SheetMetal Parameters

SheetMetal parameters are located in the SheetMetal > SheetMetalDesign > Bend or SheetMetal > SheetMetalDesign > Stamp node of the generative view style XML file (available via Tools > Standard > generativeparameters category > DefaultGenerative Style.xml file).

The parameters specify how bends and stamps should be projected in a Generative Drafting view. They are detailed in the table below.
