Overlength can be added to your parts for several reasons. Mostly curved parts need extra material (overlength) to be formed or bend in a machine. The illustrations below show a part that is bend in a press brake machine. The red zones are added overlength.

How to add overlength:

  1. Go to the preset ''Overlength''

  2. Select a part or multiple parts, on each edge a selection dot will be active.

  3. Select the edges to apply overlength on

  4. Add a value in the Overlength side menu

Please note: Overlength will be added in the 2D parts (DXF) and is not shown in the 3D editor.
