Trying to rectangular pattern multiple bends at once.

Disclaimer, I am new to fusion 360. I am trying to reverse engineer a gang nail for the fun of it, but I got stumped very early on... I have gotten the rectangular pattern to work on the flat cutout of the prongs, but as soon as I try to apply it to the bends, the prongs disappear. see attachment. Any Ideas?

Hi @leeewiesner,

I've checked your model and modified it.

Why it exactly failed I don't know, but try to keep it simple.

So what I did was to create a single piece as body and made a pattern of that body.

Finally combine them..

Interesting! I never would have thought to try that. Literally, I waisted 4 hours researching error codes and youtubing solutions...

I will definitely be using this method in the future.

Thank you.
