In the top right corner, the part details chart is shown. Once the part has been defined properly and the 'Generate Part' button has been clicked, each bend will be listed with the radius, and a column where each die must be chosen. To select a die for each bend, click on either the die or open space that is currently listed in the Die column. Once clicked, a drop down menu will appear. Click the drop down menu and select a die. To delete a bend, select any of the cells in the bend's row and click the 'Delete Bend' button. If there is only one bend, it cannot be deleted. The part needs at least one bend. After the part has been properly defined and generated, check the '''Show Part''' option to generate the part in the chosen material.
