sheet metal flanges

stew_schmehl

i have a flat sheet metal part with an extruded rectangular cut in the center. the four corners of the cut are filleted. i want to flange the straight areas of the cut. so far i have not been able to do it. it's a simple task in SW.

@stew_schmehl You may need to adjust the flange alignment. Part Studio 2 of the included document shows this working. Took a different approach to it in Part Studio 1 where I worked fully as a solid body first and then converted the faces needed to sheet metal: https://cad.onshape.com/documents/d2e655d61437861602e0d579/w/caf1817f481adc251c90decf/e/a75ac9b3521543ac8dfca7fd

That is certainly one approach. I also discovered that selecting "middle" allows the formation of the flange. Unfortunately both approaches create a rip which I do not want. I simply want the bend to extend inward from the straight edge between the fillets. Again, simple to do in SW. I am committed to OnShape and love this approach to CAD...I'm hoping sheet metal is still evolving.
