Create curved parts
You can create curved parts by defining a radius and the number of segments for a part. The number of segments determines how realistic the curved part looks: the more segments, the less angular the part appears.
- Create a part that can be bent: a beam, panel, or strip footing.
- Double-click the part to open the part properties.
- Go to the Curved beam or Bending settings area, depending on the part type.
- In the Radius box, enter the radius.
- In the Number of segments box, enter the number of segments you want to use.
- If needed, define the plane of curvature, which is relative to the current work plane.
- Click Modify to bend the part.
