Sheet Metal Corners

[chrisw01a]

When I create 3 sketches to make a corner come together, I get the desired result for a weld seam.

When I use the Flange feature, there is a gap.

Does anyone know how to change the parameters of the "gap" on the Flange feature?

Attached are two images as example.

Thank you.

Edit flange. Set miter gap.

Hi chrisw01a,

It looks like you might be new to the sheet metal tools. Here is a link that might be of interest:

Here's a quick video for the corner question:

I hope this helps.
Best of luck to you in all of your Inventor pursuits,

Hi!

You can do this in 3 places:

1. In sheet metal rules: will apply for all cases during the modeling.
2. In the tool: e.g. if you are using the flenge tool, despite you have an rule, for the present tool youre using you have a new rule for all the flanges yuo this time.  
3. In the corner: despite you have defined the sheet metal rules, or/and even the tool rule, you can change deffinitions directly in the corner.

So, basically you have usulally 3 levels of edition:

Global rules, apply to all the tools used, change every corner you make

The tool rule: apply to all the corners you are doing with that tool, change every corner this tool make

The corner specs: apply the specs directly in a specific corner.
