I have a question regarding the best way to model a sheet of corrugated steel. I would guess the easiest and quickest method would be to create a profile curve, offset a thickness and extrude this to the desired length. I was wondering how would I go about sketching out an accurate profile curve that could be used to create the form? Many thanks

See JD's solution using contour flange.
Hi, thanks for the info but I can't see any step by step guides to the process in the link ?

I feel like I must be missing something?
Did you open the file?
You should be able to reverse engineer any Inventor part file - simply edit the sketches and features.
I recommend you stop whatever you are doing and at least go through the Help>Learning Tools>Tutorials and Skillbuilders.
Then search classes here http://au.autodesk.com
Then search Google on Rob Cohee Inventor YouTube
Then search www.amazon.com for a book.
You might also sign up for a class.
Start sheet metal part.
Sketch single line profile.
