Options within the command

Dynamic dimensions: Creates a new flange using the dynamic dimensions of the height and angle of the new flange or by positioning the location.; Note: The TAB key switches between the height and angle field.

Angle: First defines the angle of the flange, then the height.

Length: First defines the length of the flange, then the angle.

Radius: Defines the radius of the bend connected to the new flange.

Taper Angle: Creates a flange with one or two tapered side faces.; Note: This option is not available if multiple edges are selected.

Back: Goes back to the previous prompt.

Skip: Keep the flange side orthogonal instead of tapering it.

Width: Allows to define a different width than the length of the selected edge. By default, the flange width equals the length of the selected edge.; Note: This option is not available if multiple edges are selected.

Back: Undoes the current width procedure.

Skip: Keeps the side edge of the flange at the end point of the edge.

Toggle connection: Toggles between different connection options when creating several flanges simultaneously.; Note: The toggle connection is only available when at least two neighbor edges are selected.
