Make a Simple Sheet Metal Box with Flanges

steve_fsteve_f Member Posts: 14 ✭✭

I'm lost on how to get the flange to meet or at least come close to perpendicular wall.

Also, I am unable to find any examples using the "up to entity" or "up to entity with offset" selections.

Thanks,

    IDK why it does this, but if you do a move face just a tiny amount before the flange, it works. Screenshot and link below.

    I also figured out the up to entity.
