Not able to add flange to edge on converted part

SupportAZUEN — Wed, 07 Jan 2026 22:18:14 GMT

I am trying to add a third flange to the top of the uploaded part. Normally I would start with a sheet metal part, but due to the complex geometry on the two side flanges it seemed to be easier to make a solid body and convert to sheet metal.

It worked mostly, but I am unable to add a top flange. I tried modeling it in the solid body and converting to sheet metal, but it did not work. I also tried adding a flange to the edge, but it is not recognized.

Not sure of a good solution, any help is appreciated

This is what I have:

Below is what I am looking to do. A top flange that goes as far as the side flanges. Below is what I modeled, but did not get it to convert to sheet metal

It is not real pretty but here is your model with the added flange, reliefs and then converted to sheet metal.
