Hi there Autodesk community. I'm fairly new at Fusion so please excuse if this is a simple question. I have a dustpan I am trying to draw in Sheetmetal. I cannot work out how to draw this old dust pan design I wanted to update. It is frustrating because it seems such a simple design but i feel like i can't get past step 2. I feel like i wish i could draw in the flat and fold to shape but as far as i understand this is not how its done. I draw the biggest flat part on the bottom but when i turn into flange i cannot change the size of the next flange that holds the handle. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks for your time in advance, Lynden.

Accepted solution
Thought I'd give this a go using just the sheetmetal workspace. I used your flat pattern as a layout sketch/cropping template. I'm not as impressed with the workflow as I would like, changing the layout sketch will likely cause issues down the time line. I couldn't get the angles stated in the instruction to work correctly so I took a bit of licence there.
The whole thing involved some to-ing and fro-ing with bend reliefs and angles - since F360 becomes far too unreasonable with intersecting bodies (good so you don't create impossibilities at the end of the day, but can be a pain since sometimes its more intuitive to fix an intersection after it happens rather then before)
