Differant flange height on each end

[wallenaircraftllc]

I am making a part and am having problems with the flange tool. Its probably really simple but all I want to do is when I make a flange for a sheetmetal part as the flange extrudes I want one side to be an inch lower than the other and I cant figure it out. Thanks in advance as this is probably really simple.

This is posted in a general community forum, so we don't know the context of your question. What program are you using?

Sorry about that. I had never posted on here before. Using Fusion 360. Whats the best forum to post on for Fusion 360?

Do as two separate Flange features 

or 

as one feature and then edit side as needed.

Can you File>Export your *.f3d file to your local drive and then Attach it here to a Reply?

It is really simple - just as you suspected.

Thanks, So on the top plane i want the length at the end of the flange to be 17in instead of the 18in at the base. I couldnt figure out how to push pull or edit it to pull that one side in 1in. Im obviously still learning but getting there.

I would start by properly constraining and dimensioning the first sketch.

No I attached another sketch with some text that might shine some light on what I'm trying to do. Thanks.

Hi,

1. measure the angle > left click (copy to clipboard)

2. Draft > pulldirection > face > ctrl+v  angle from clipboard

Thats it!! Thank you guys so much for your help!!

After I did the draft it will not let me make a flat pattern in sheetmetal.

Hi,

Probably this way is better

Perfect. Man I hope I can become as proficient at this as you guys some day. Thanks again

I made that work but it import it to get it cut out and bent it has to be in the sheetmetal flat pattern file. It still wont let me make a flat pattern with it. I can unfold it like you did but to make a flat pattern it gives me an error.
