angled flange in sheetmetal

When I create a flange off an dge in sheetmetal, is there a procedure to create the flange with different heights at the ends. I know I can make a cut after the flange is created but it would be cleaner to do it in one step.

 

Thank yu

 

Jim

Unfortunately you can do only one length in the flange command at a time. You can however look at using some of the Width Extents options and create one length flange at a time (while still in the flange command). You can experiment with them by using the more button (>>) in the lower right corner. You may want to start with the Width or Offset type extensions.

Although you can't use Flange for this - there is a trivially easy one-step way.

Attach your ipt file here.

You can build the flange you want first like a sketch and then use the Face command.

The output is what you need.

JD,

here is the part that I want to have a non parallel  flange on the side. The cut works fine but I just wanted to know if there is a more efficent way to go about it.

 

Thank you
