this command (click

a line on the selected face and click
Finish
on the ribbon. On the
Louver

below the

box to reverse the
depth direction. Type-in a value in the
Width
box to define the width of the louver. Click

louver depth should be less than or equal to width minus the material thickness.
On the

drop-
down menu. The following figure shows the two end conditions.
Under the
