Surface to sheet metal (thicken) problems

Hi. I'm using these two surfaces, which have been joined into one using a mutual trim, in order to make a sheet metal part. it's giving me a headache about it for reasons I cannot figure out. The planes are placed on 3 vertices of a 3D scan and are pretty close to perpindicular, likely not exactly. Though I've made sheet metal stuff with non-perpindicular faces before.

The faces are flat i take it?
It probably doesn't know how to deal with the sudden step in width that is coincident with a bend line.
try trimming a triangle off the face on the right side there to double check if that's the cause.
You're definitely onto something. I added a relief to the end of the bend and got this. The problem is, when I invert the thickness to be on the other side, it cannot build the model all of a sudden. I even tried making a solid part to use the faces off that. Same issue. Is there a way I could chop that triangle section off and add the rest later I wonder.

You have something odd going on in this corner. I was able to get it to work by cutting out a piece of the radius leading into the corner, but ideally, you should probably rework the part a bit. Maybe modify the top bolt sketch.
Thank you. I'll have a look into it.
