 '''If more than two angles are added to the bend''', two more angle values will be generated. These will also have axis icons that will show which axes the angles are along. These can also be edited by directly entering values into the fields.
 '''Individual bend angles can be locked''' by clicking on and toggling the '''lock''' icon '''on''' [[File:lock.png]] or '''off'''. [[File:unlocked.png]] When a bend is locked, the angles of the bend will be locked in place if any attempts to change them are made. While locked, dragging the harpoon points will only adjust the length of the straight after the bend.
 '''Each bend can be assigned a die''' by  selecting the bend number in the bend list and selecting a die from the '''Die''' drop down menu. The dimension type of the bends are determined by the current option selected under '''[[Assembly#Bend Mode|Bend Mode]]'''.

		+	In summary, parts can be designed three different ways:
		+
		+	1.) By '''selecting a harpoon point and dragging it''' into place.
		+
		+	2.) By '''selecting a harpoon point and keying in''' the value.
		+
		+	3.) By '''entering values''' directly into the fields.
		+
		+
		+	As the part is being drawn, the lengths, angles and rotations will be automatically generated in the designer entry fields on the left of the screen. The values in the colored fields in the harpoon frame show how far and in which direction the current length of tube has been moved.
		+
		+
		+	'''To add a bend''' to the part, click the '''Add Bend''' button. [[File:add_bend.png]] Or hover over the end of the tube, and once the small green axis appears, double click. The new bend will be added and the harpoon tool will move to the end of the part.
