coming from solidworks this is a simple task just edit the sketch of each flange to clear each other and you done

 

I have tried multiple ways to do this in different timelines and I cannot figure it out  I need all flanges bent to  90 deg.

Hi! It is true that there isn't an exact SWX-like workflow in Fusion in this case at the moment. However, it isn't too difficult to create individual Flanges with asymmetric offsets. Then use Corner Closure to heal the gap. There is no need to use Surface Modeling workflows here. Please take a look at the attached f3d file.

how did you do the 3rd edge flange, not the entire way of the material?

Thanks for that.....I must have missed the arrival of corner closure...This is a great help!

 

A link to the Brad Tallis video that explains it very well.

Hi Brian,

 

You will need to select a width option allowing the Flange to run partially on the selected edge.
