Errors regarding flange tool in Autodesk Inventor

Hi, I find this very difficult for me to solve, can anyone know how to fix this?

I am trying to bend this edge of a metal sheet, but when I am trying to select those edges they are showing that maybe it can be bend, but the "apply" button not working. I hope someone will can help me. I'd also try 3 point plane for  it's reference. Thank you in advance.

Hi! It should work. I don't see a reason why it would fail, particularly the preview did appear. Please share the file here. I would like to understand why the multi-edge Flange cannot be created.

Many thanks!

Hi! thank you for your response to my concern. I forgot to tell that my project has an arc from the other side of the edges. Try this, I will attach my file here.

Hi! I see what you are trying to do now. The flanges you are trying to make are on curvy edges. Such flanges are not supported. You may use Sweep or other modeling commands to create such shape. However, the resultant sheet metal part cannot be unfolded. You will need to sue Unwrap to flatten the faces.

Many thanks!
