Sketched Bend

The SheetMetalSketchedBend node folds the material on one side of a sketched line across a flat face — the true interior fold. You author the fold line as a Line on the plate; the half beyond the line folds up around a real bend region while the other half stays put. bend_position defaults to bend-centerline (the SolidWorks default — the line is the developed midpoint of the bend).
