Hi,
I defined k-factor to be 0.27 (constant) for air bending in "sha_demoshop_func.lsp" (we use only air bending). But we sometimes import step files into sheet metal and define a new material (not define all the bend)
In this case, modeling don't use this K-factor because it don't know this is air bending !!!
Where can i define definitily this k-factor for all the bend ??

Thanks for your answer

Either you attach bend-info to the bends, or you can specify the k-factor while creating the flat. In the section 'Cylinder allowance' select k-factor (in stead of 'by shop') and enter 0.27.

That's what we do today, but i would like to definitely define the k-factor to 0.27...
