Edge Relief Tool

Edge reliefs are automatically created when you pull a partial wall.

The edge relief type is determined by the Edge Relief option tool in the Modify group on the Sheet Metal tab. The default is round, but you can change it to another type. The icon on the Edge Relief tool changes to reflect the relief type. This setting is saved until you close SpaceClaim.

The shape of the end of a partial split is also determined by the relief type you have set for the Edge Relief tool. See Splitting a sheet metal face.

The dimensions of a relief are determined by the relief settings in Sheet metal options.

Dragging a yellow ball end point to pull a partial wall creates an edge relief.

A message appears in the status bar if a relief cannot be created, such as when it is too close to the side.

After you create a bend that has an edge relief, you can select the relief and change the type using the Edge Relief tool, or you can change the type, depth, and width in the Properties panel. You can also move an edge relief along a sheet metal wall.
