Hi, i am struggling to make noncolliding bend to edges that are angled to each other. If edges is not angled to each other then system automagically recognised needed reliefs and makes needed cuts. Attached problematic bend.

Hi! The Auto-Mitering fails because the intended mitered faces from each side will overlap one another. The attached file illustrates the issue.

It is all recorded in the Timeline.

Return the playhead to the beginning and go through the Timeline step-by-step.

I had an extraneous sketch in the previous attachment trying to figure out your Design Intent.

Use this file.

Thanks, il try.

 

did you just guess and try that or is there some magic tool to make that precise cut?

Is there some way that sheet metal tool would actually use only that material for flange material creation thats actually available from base material? Why that sheet metal tool adds "nonexsisting/excessive" material for bends edges and later complains that it has collapse. And opposite issue:

i added to base bend +5 deg and i have again crashing result- that tool should automagically make bigger gap for unfolded material in this case?

Just to understand, is there some tool in fusion for this cutout or i have to calculate it manually like in school before computers?

I understood its not straight forward, kinda unfold/cut/fold and do not cut edges in angle otherwise its not acceptable by metal manufacturing companies etc..  what i see is that this sheet metal tool is in baby steps- basically just Solid tool with some features. I respect guys who have mastered it and i will try go get used to it also. I hope that it will be more real sheet metaling tool one day (Y)
