How to create a bend / flange opposite from the opposite end

[brianwclayton1969]

Good afternoon, I have an Inventor part I created and one end bends or folds 90 degrees straight up, which is correct...I am trying to get the opposite side to bend 90 degrees straight down....but when I attempt to do this it either stays 180 degrees flat (parallel) or it bends 90 degrees straight up.....

Could someone please tell me if there is a button selection I am missing to accomplish this?

I have attached the Inventor file, this is created in Inventor 2020

Thanks

Is this intended to be a sheet metal part? If so is there a reason you aren't using the sheet metal tools? I think you would have better luck with the sheet metal tools and not have as long of a feature tree

Yes.. The entire sheet metal environment would make this SOOOOOO much easier.

Start over from scratch and use the "Sheet Metal" template instead of a standard part template. Then you simply sketch a face then 2 flanges using the flange tool (or create the full shape as a contour flange,etc...) but start with faces and flanges and ENJOY!!!
