Sheet Metal Flat Pattern

Hello all, I am currently working on a bent up fence that attaches via tabs at the end. The tabs overlap the slots in the model since when the part is machined I want there to be overlap so the tabs will hold in the slots. The issue is since they overlap I get the error "Topology belongs to more than one bend". I want the model to be accurate but also want to be able to show flat pattern. Any solutions?

 

Thanks!!

Have you tried creating the flat pattern first, then editing on the flat pattern environment to add the tabs? Maybe just create your sketch on folded and right-click it to "Copy to flat pattern" so you have the dimensions on the flat.
