Unable to Bend Sheet Metal "Can't successfully create new geometry. Most likely..."

Hi Experts,

I'm trying to bend a flat 3mm thick Aluminium model into a W shape, but Fusion 360 keeps giving me the error

Clicking "More Info" doesn't give any help.

Shape I'm trying to make:

I only just started using Fusion 360, and have been following YouTube tutorials for the most part. I've posted a screencap below (it doesn't capture the error window for some reason), and attached the project file, hopefully in the right format.

The initial design credit goes to Huw Porter, it is not mine.

Thanks,

J

I think your sketch lines are off a slight bit but you will get the idea on the process. You want to bend in sequence from one side to the other to be successful. Model is attached.

Hi John,

Thank you for your help. If you don't mind, could you tell me how you resolved the issue? Or what did I not do correctly?

Thanks!

As I mentioned in my first post, the secret to using the Bend command is to work from one side of the model, the stationary side, across to the other picking each bend line in sequence. Video is attached.
