Bend Line Adjustment (BLA) should indicate default versus customized versus calculated values

Bend Line Adjustment (BLA) should indicate default versus customized versus calculated values

Bend Line Adjustment (BLA) should indicate default versus customized versus calculated values.

(To mark the areas in color, which must be determined empirically)

 

Reason:

  1. In Undeveloped (bent) state, the DEV.L is NOT visible as calculated, customized or default until user edits the value
  2. In twist feature, the DEVELOPED LENGTH (DEV.L) is calculated as 2*attached_edge_length. This is an unexpected calculation. Expected is a default DEV.L = length_of_bent_edge OR an obligatory manual value

 

Example:

twist_dev.l.png

  • Twist feature attached on a 30mm edge gets a default DEV.L value 60mm although user sets a wall length value of 15
  • Twist feature attached on a 30mm edge gets a default DEV.L value 60mm although user sets a wall length value of 100
  • Twist feature attached on a 60mm edge gets a default DEV.L value 120mm although user sets a wall length value of 60
  • Bend Edge feature gets a DEV.L value of 12.3 (calculated)
  • Bend Edge feature gets a DEV.L value of 22.2 (manual), which is not looking any different from the calculated bend
