Adjust Lengths

To adjust the lengths of a template part, enter values into the designer entry fields that mark the straight lengths of the part.

Adjust Angles

Certain template parts allow for an angle adjustment. If an angle adjustment is available, the angle field will have a "Bend Angle" label next to it. To change the angle, enter a new value into the angle field.

Dimension Types

Each template will have between one and three different dimension type options: Inside, Center, or Outside. These can be chosen at the initial template selection or during the design process.

To choose a dimension type at the initial selection window, click on one of the dimension icons below the template tile. If necessary, this can be changed later.
