+. Select the "'''Tasks'''" tab and the "'''Bump Bending'''" [[File:Bumpbending.png]] button to start the bump bending process.
-. 15 bumps will automatically be spaced in increments along the radius of the second bend. To verify this, select the "'''Parts'''" tab and select the yellow "'''Part 1'''" and the part in the display area will show all the bumps that have been created.
+. The Bump Bend Tool window will open and prompt you to "'''Select Die, Select Which Bend, and Number of 'Bumps''''". Choose "'''2.0'''" for a die, "'''2'''" for the bend we wish to work with, and type "'''3'''" in the number of bumps value field.
-==Transferring the Part==
+. 3 bumps will automatically be spaced in increments along the radius of the second bend. To verify this, select the "'''Flat Layout'''" button and the part in the display area will show all the bumps that have been created.
