Contents
Add or Remove Bend
The number of bends in a part is chosen from the bend number drop down menu in the left panel. To increase or decrease the number of bends, click the drop down menu and choose a number from the list.
Adjust Lengths
To change the length of a straight length, enter a new value into the corresponding length field in the designer entry fields on the left panel.
Adjust Angles
To adjust the angle of a bend, enter a new value into the corresponding angle field in the designer entry fields on the left panel.
Adjust Rotation
To adjust the rotation, enter a new value into the rotation field in the designer entry fields on the left panel.
Dimension Types
The way the dimensions are measured can be changed by using the dimension buttons. Click on the distance to apex 
or length of straight 
to set the dimension type.
180° Bends
In the linear 3D designer, 180° bends are handled the same way as all other bends. To add a 180° bend, enter "180" into the angle field of the bend.
