How to make this shape?

I'm having issues with corners.

1,4,6,8 I want them to be bent and flat but indedpendent of 2,3,5,7

So just the front should be forward 10mm.

I'm wondering what steps to do, i have tried several approaches but i don't get what i would like.

What plane to extrude, how to make those slight flat bendings..

    Extrude rectangle then use the chamfer tool?

    I'm sorry but I have no idea what you're asking. You want them to be "bent and flat"?

    Are you trying to create something like this?

    If I understand OP - is looking for the long bevels to be equal distance (easy per @NeilCooke suggestion).  Then the end bevels sb 'flatter' using two distance bevel works EXCEPT - getting the corner triangles as OP shows is not trivial.  Here is document . I made this by doing corner bevels after long bevels and then the end edge bevels - then went back to adjust the corner 'Distance 1' by trial and error to 5 places (could have measured it with sketch...) and it is not perfect.   I would be tempted to just create a loft surface to trim the corners...

    What do you all think?

    I think this is it. After i posted the question, i also tried with planes on each corner but it was complicated. Also, when i wanted to change the distance between front and the rest of object, the "triangles" in the corners didn't follow the change. Thank you. I see you have used some mirroring and split tricks, i'll try to understand this.

    But the shape is what i actually wanted.

    I guess this was elegant solution. Bit more clear.

    Thank you very much. Could you share it so that i can copy fork this?

    Not exactly, i i would have to split this at the end, not to make complete shell. However, thank you for your effort.

    It was bit hard to match the angle so that if i change the front panel distance the triangle will follow the shape properly.

    I'm sorry, yes, my explanation was not great, but others mostly got it.

    Yes, but it's view only and i can't see the details for the tools. And i can't "Make Copy"

    Oh yes! Sorry about that; need to make public & copy the URL, not use 'Share Link' feature...  I had to go back and read @NeilCooke 'Forum Post Checklist'


    Here is public doc URL.
