Sheet Metal Part Properties

Sheet-Metal Design

General

You can edit the sheet-metal part properties only in the model window, not in the drawing.
The properties are affected when the part is flattened and also in some modeling functions. So define the properties at the beginning of modeling if possible.
You can also view and edit the part properties after creating the geometry of the sheet-metal part.
