  Create the sheet flattened, add the tab cutout, bend the outer face up.

  Hi Neil,
  
  That's indeed what I used, but it also bended the "tab".
  I couldnt find a way to bend the sheet, and leave the tab in the same plane.
  Can you share an example? 
  Thanks!

  Hmm you're right. I said it without testing. Here's a couple of hacky ways to do it.
