Display Sheet (DS)#
Previews sheets in color: by face type, by bend direction, by bend group, or with grain lines. Filter by face type and side, and optionally label each face.

| Sheet | S | Sheet | tree | | Sheets to display. |
| Color Mode | CM | Integer | item | 0 | Coloring mode for the sheet. The root face is always dark green. - By Face Type: bend=blue, flange=gray, hem=cadetblue, hole=gold (countersink=violet), thickness=red. - By Direction: up=green, down=red, non-bends=light gray. - By Bend Group: each bend group gets its own color. - By Grain: lines along the material's grain, carried through the bends from the flat pattern. Set the grain on Sheet Properties; without one it runs across the bends. |
| Display Text Info | TI | Boolean | item | false | Show a label on each face: F- plus the face index for flanges, B-, HB- and H- plus the id for bends, hems and holes. |
| Text Size | TS | Integer | item | 20 | Size of the face labels, in pixels. |
| Side | SD | Integer | item | -1 | Which side of the sheet to display: All (-1), Side 0 (the side with the root face), or Side 1 (the other side). |
| Face Types | FT | Integer | list | | Face types to show: 1 Bend, 2 Hem, 3 Flange, 4 Thickness, 5 Hole. A checklist is attached when you place the component. Leave empty to show all. |
| Grain Spacing | GS | Number | item | | Distance between the grain lines in By Grain mode, in document units, measured in the flat. Leave empty for about 40 lines across each part. |
Color Mode (CM) options:
0 = By Face Type1 = By Direction2 = By Bend Group3 = By Grain
Side (SD) options:
-1 = All0 = Side 01 = Side 1

Sheet Info (SI)#
Summarizes a sheet: how many flanges, bends, hems, and holes it has, plus the detected material thickness. Also lists the id, angle, fold direction, and inner radius of every bend. Use it to check what was detected before unrolling.
