When bending excess is applied holes, notches and cutouts are only marked. The following geometry is used to indicate the center point of holes.

Figure 2:6. Geometry for Marking of Holes.
Notches are marked with a straight line with length L, perpendicular to the root edge of the profile.
L is controlled via the keyword HOOK4 that shall be given for each profile type in the profile restriction file. The default value is 50 mm.
The marking of macros is also indicated in the normal way, that means, they have OPEN=10 or OPEN=11 in the generic file. It is also visible in the plot of the nested profile where they are dashed.
