Sheet Metal "internal flanges" for gluing?

chad_etzel

I have been using the Sheet Metal feature with great success to create some prototypes with cardboard by laser cutting the flat pattern. Currently I am fixing the sides by running hot glue down the seams of the walls, but I am hoping it is possible to add "internal flanges" like you see on papercraft templates, such as this cube. The "flanges" below are meant for gluing the sides together after you cut it out and fold it.

I have tried using the flange feature, but it (probably correctly) prevents me from adding flanges on the inside edge of a model.

Is this possible to achieve with the current sheet metal features? (I'm also not sure what to call these "internal flanges" if they have a proper name)

Thre flange feature should work. You may need to pre-notch near the inside corners. Or use mbartlett's shaped flange feature.

Ahaaaaa, the link you provided held the clue. I need to move the face of the desired inner flange locations down by the thickness of the material first, then it works perfectly! Thank you!
