Squaring up sheet metal faces

After you have converted a design to sheet metal, you can use the  Square-Up tool in the Import ribbon group on the Sheet Metal tab to find and fix edges and faces that are not square to the Sheet Metal sheet.

The image below shows a simple example. The circular hole and right thickness face are not perpendicular to the sheet. Square-Up finds this geometry and highlights it.

To square up sheet metal geometry

1. Click the  Square-Up tool in the Import group on the Sheet Metal tab.

   Geometry that can be squared-up is highlighted in red.

2.  Click on highlighted geometry to fix

   • If you click an edge, that edge remains fixed and the opposite edge is moved to line up with the selected edge

   • If you click on a face all edges misaligned on the opposite face are moved
