Bend problem

Hi I need advice on bending or guidance on how to do it easily. I make things out of leather and Fusion is brilliant for making patterns but... A fairly ideal environment is sheet metal and let's say I need to make a wallet. So I design, I create a bend line, and that's where the problem comes in. When I bend the leather, there's a small, let's say, cylinder in the bend, and the rest of it can get all the way together. Now how do I do this in Fusion because it won't allow a bend bigger than 180 degrees. I confess I'm a complete novice with Fusion so I'm sure I'm missing a simple solution.

You can create a new Sheet Metal Rule to cover your bend radius (what you called a folding cylinder) or you can change the bend radius as an override each time you make a bend.  You would be best to establish a rule.  You will never be able to make the radius zero but you can get it pretty small.  You also can never make a bend 180 degrees, you can get 179.99 but that is it.
