How do I create these sheet metal features in onshape?

I am trying to model this doublemint sheet metal part now but have two questions about how it's made. it's a three part assembly.
1. the top and bottom pieces both seem to be stamped in one direction like this. is there a metal stamping operation i can use in onshape? or should i just model it as a solid like this?
2. the edges of all three sheets seemed to be rolled up like this. how can i recreate this in onshape?
3. there's a fun rotation mechanism built around the rounded edge and a small bent cutout in the vertical wall, like this. how can i create this in onshape? i can't figure out how to make a three sided cut in a piece of sheet metal and then bend it.
many thanks!
