Hey all,
I am trying to make a few bend lines that have the same point of origin on one side. Seems like the only way that i can do this is if i make the bend lines end on separate points. This particular situation is for some side crimps for an aluminum boat. Crimps are for additional side strength and also aesthetics. Any Advice

it's helpful if you could share a public document to troubleshoot and or add pictures to your description.
sheet metal bends are basically cylindrical faces. you can't have cylindrical face in two different direction overlapping.
so try to make the bend lines as close as possible, but make sure the resulting cylindrical faces don't overlap.
