Hello folks
I wander if anyone have successfully practiced modeling this sheet metal feature in Onshape:

Currently these can only be added after doing a "finish sheet metal" feature. I haven't done these for a while but I think the "amalgam" FS could work well for this. You would have to manually set the thickness and internal radius of the part but it should be pretty quick once setup.

Was working on a version of this that could work pre Finish Sheet Metal using the functions in the Sheet Metal Form feature, but the bend geometry and interaction with 2 different master surfaces wasn't playing nice with the registration functions in the kernel.
@lana this is one of those backlog items for sheet metal I've played around with. My company doesn't do gussets but enough other people seem to be interested in the capability that it's on my list.
