Problems with sheet metal fold creation

[darryl.menezes]

Hi,

 I am trying to create fold for sheet metal in Inventor, but I have the following problem. It folds the entire sheet instead of applying bend relief to the part I actually want to fold. But in other areas of the model, bend relief is applied. Is there any solution that can be applied, so that the entire sheet is not bent? Thanks.

Can you attach the *.ipt file here?

Fold is almost always the incorrect tool to use.

Model your part in the "as-bent" finished form dimensions and Inventor will take care of the rest.

Thank you for your suggestion. I modeled the part as bent, and it works well.
