Folded Sheet Metal

[patrik.britschgi]

Hello

I tried to model a folded flange with sheet metal like this: 

unfortunately i failed doing this. My final goal is to build stuff like this:

Are there any options i may have missed to create something like this?

PS: Is there a possibility to bring back deleted sample rules?

Regards,

Patrik

@patrik.britschgi,

You have two options.  

1. You can sketch the connections and use the flange command to create them all at once.

2. You can add a hem by creating a sketch on the edge and then using the new join workflow.

Below is a video showing the workflow.

Awesome! I did not know that i can sketch the bend radii.

Now i'm looking forward to the flat pattern realese to order my first sheet metal parts.

Thank's

What I find to be bizarrely ironic is that when you sketch a bend like this you have to manually join it to your main component, but when a flange intersects another part of the component it joins automatically!
