Sheet Metal Gussets

Sam_Twogood

There appears to be no sheet metal gusset tool like what SolidWorks has within the sheet metal model functionality in Onshape. (In SolidWorks, you simply select the two sheet metal planes across which you want your sheet metal gusset to span. I've included a link to the SolidWorks instructions below.) Is this true, or am I missing something? If there is no sheet metal gusset tool, does anyone have a suitable workaround?

There are no built in forming tools yet. There are work arounds. There's this custom Feature Script which has been around for a while. I'm not sure if it will work across a bend for a gusset.

Sounds good; thank you.

I added this feature request a good bit ago on another account. Been wishing this was a thing forever.
