How to create a 180 degree bend in sheet metal over a large radius

[jcoyier]

I want to create a rectangular bracket to wrap around a 1 inch tube.  This has to be simple but I'm a newbie and cannot figure out how this should be done in F360.  I started with a flange using a custom material of 20g ss.  Looks like sheet metal bends are not designed to handle this type of bend since they will not allow a 180 degree bend.

Draw side view of the bracket, make the flange, 

(should - don't know about that)

This was then unfolded, for further operations if required.

Might help....

Yes, this approach accomplishes what I could not using the "bend" operation.  Thanks for the help.

Thank you, this is brilliant! I wanted to punch the screen when the flange bend limit turned out to be <180°
