Sheet Metal: Round relief in Corner Seam

[Anonymous]

How to create a round relief shape in corner in attached file? When I set Relief shape to ROUND nothing happens. Anyone any suggestions?

You can model the corner with the Cut across Bend feature:
select one of the faces of ContourFlange1 to create a sketch and "flat project" the faces adjacent to the corner.
Then model your relief as sketch profile and use Cut across Bend to cut it (pictures and R11 part are attached)

Can't you issue this as a wishlist item too? IV should be able to do
this without a workaround!

What is starnge is that if you start with a face, add two flanges and perform a mitre on those two you get the corner relief you are after, see attached jpeg.
