Partial Sheet Metal Hem

Battled with this one for a while before landing on a solution.

There's no partial hem capability built in, but the same can be achieved by notching the bend relief at each end of the partial hem then hemming the remainder.

Posting it here in the hopes that anyone struggling with the same problem can find it since my searches turned up nothing. This can be easily done in featurescript (my path) or via the UI.

    A simpler method is to do a "full" hem and then use a "move face" feature to shorten it. This way you don't need to create a notch and it will match the relief strategy specified in the sheet metal model

    Here's an example of what I meant, you can use "up to" and add offset if needed in the move face to control position
