Sheet metal flanges and corners

[Anonymous]

Hi,

I'm trying to make a sheet metal model of a funnel.  Rectangular at the top and tapering down.  How do you make a flange that has something other than straight sides?  Also, I can't seen to get the last corner to create in the attached file.  Is there a better way to do what I'm trying to do?

Thank you.

 Thank you very much S_May and hncarle.  Great video.  

Wow, this isn't very intuitive, at least for me.  I don't do a lot of sheetmetal.

Thanks for all the help guys.

Unfortunately Inventor is not intuitive in this case.  I'm an old SolidWorks guy and SolidWorks  is very good at this.  And for those of you that want to flame Raspberry. LOL
