Tab won't bend

alan_curleyalan_curley Member Posts: 7
I have a project using sheet metal and I'm trying to see where bends will align with Tabs on the part.
https://cad.onshape.com/documents/4ed0b1f7dd61d9064b56729b/w/82b5013a09cf6bbd88a7875e/e/b6c22f8f2cfd97758c511348
When I follow the instructions, it won't highlight the tabs as a part to bend, regardless of where I place the bend line and what i select as the face, it just bends the whole part.

Has anyone any suggestions?

    The "default" doesn't work but it works if you pick "hold line" for the bend alignment. It also works if you decrease the bend radius a lot (which you probably want to do anyway as it doesn't look great):
