Sheet metal bend offset

Hello;
I'm very new to Onshape, but have been searching for a couple hours and watched videos but can't find a solution to my problem.
Example; I want to make a sheet metal box which measures let say, 2"X4"X6". I draw this as a solid, the open up the sheet metal command. The problem I'm having is that now material thickness is added to my original drawing , and since I'm using .062" material, my box now measures 2 1/8"X4 1/8"X6 1/8".
How do I configure Onshape so that the final size of my box is the same as my original drawing?
Thanks-for any reply
Dan

Flip direction at which thickness is applied, then the external walls of sheet metal box would match the faces of your original box7
