Hello, I am new to fusion 360 and CAD in general, only been working with it for two weeks now. I have looked for and cannot find an answer to my issue in past posts, so I apologize if this has been answered before. I am attempting to make a simple bracket and was able to stumble through to get a model created the way is needed but when I attempted to add my company's logo is when I messed something up and now one part of the model will not bend. I was only able to add the logo in the sketch mode before I converted to sheet metal and now after I get the logo put in and apply the sheet metal rule to the drawing it does not bend on one of the lines it needs to. not sure if I am doing something wrong in process or if I broke it. any help would be greatly appreciated. model should be attached now if looking.

The Forum users really need to see your model to try and give an answer.  Please attach it.  If you do not know how to attach your Fusion 360 model follow these easy steps. Open the model in Fusion 360, select the File menu, then Export and save as a F3D or F3Z file to your hard drive. Then use the Attachments section, of a forum post, to attach it.

I do not see any issue with Bending your model as the video shows.  I would suggest designing sheet metal models using the Flange tool for more accurate control of dimensions. You can use the Unfold command to flatten it for sketching and Extrusions.  Model is attached.

I see, I guess I was not doing it in the right order as I could not get the 3rd bend you did in the video. but after starting at the one end, it allowed me to. thank you very much for the assistance, sorry to waste your time on something so simple.
