    Part forming question

    I am working on a part where the customer is supplying us with some blank

    plates 24" square. They want us to put a 4" bent leg on the part.

    What I need to know is, in Inventor, how do I go about this?

    I have done this in SW, but can not figure out how in Inventor.

    Thank you very much for  your help.

    Bend Part (hidden command).

    But I would probably model as-bent.

    The bend faeture works pretty well for simple bends.

    But as JD said, more complex parts work better by modeling.

    Or go into the Sheet Metal environment.
