The present invention includes computer instructions that receive a first selection of a first face on a first geometry piece, and receive a second selection of a second face on a second geometry piece. Once the first and second selections are received, the instructions determine if the selected first face and the selected second intersect at an intersection. If an intersection is determined, the instructions automatically generate a bend at the intersection to join the first and second geometry pieces. As a result with only a few operations, a designer is able to join geometry pieces automatically and intuitively, while automatically updating manufacturing information. In one embodiment, the computer instructions are part of a mechanical design software application. In one embodiment, the mechanical software application including the computer instructions is embodied in a distribution storage medium.
