How to make angled bends in Fusion 360 sheet metal

[martinhetschel]

Any idea how to insert bends on a sheet metal (see top right corner). As far as I know you can only insert flanges on existing edges.

How about this process:

1. Sketch on that face the line for the bend
2. extrude/cut that corner off
3. Create your flange
4. Unfold (not flat pattern)
5. another sketch to generate the "corner point"
6. Extrude/cut the excess
7. Refold

Lots of steps but it gets you there.

Heres a link to a mockup I just did:

Thanks for your promt answer. That's the way was thinking as well (and did in the picture above). But this is pretty complicated and time intensive. Also it's not working with long and small parts, because there will be not enough "material" to cut after inserting a flange. With Solidworks it was possible to insert bends from a sketch (line) really easy. If there is no such function in Fusion 360, probably I should propose as idea...
