How do I make a dent in sheet metal?

Hi,

My version of a tool-cart. Made as a sheet-metal object. The verticals should have a 'dent' or depression in the sheet-metal as soon in the pictures. I tried loft and many more things....

Does anybody know how to do this in sheet-metal?

File>Export and then Attatch your *.f3d file here.

I would Extrude, Extrude and then Fillet.

You can do something like this, but you aren't going to get a Flat Pattern from it. You'll need to get your Flat Pattern out before you model these. Or get everything done prior to these, and then do a Save-As so you have a separate file to model these in, but you've still got the original without them.

All I did was go back into the Model workspace, used sketch rectangles to split the outside and inside faces appropriately, push/pulled those face, and filleted the inside and outside edges. Then extruded the holes of course.

That is exactly how I tried to do it.

Will try again now, thank you!

.. i was designing a cover in sheet metal as you with punch, depression or dent, so i decide to work in the Model Mode and i open a sketch in the left side and draw the line path or profile of the dent, then i extrude CUT the with of the dent.. then i use the RIB feature and use the dent profile.

hope this help.
