How to create a notched bend in a sheet metal part?
I'd like to incorporate a "notched bend", as illustrated below, in a sheet metal part where a cutout needs to be closer to a bend than the bend clearance would normally allow.

What is the best process to complete this design?

The inside of the box is hollow which allows smoke from a fire below to be forced into the opening you see in the cylinder and out the back opening of the rectangular box.

How to get overlapping flanges for sheet metal assembly?
Hi Currently working on a spray booth project, and decided to use a sheet metal funnel/duct assembly for the fan and filters. Only just recently started using Onshape for this, after having failed in Designspark which does not have a sheet metal feature. The rough shape has been done, but keep having problems getting…

Pull selections from a previous feature into new feature
I have modified the sheet metal model feature and adding an enum selection for selecting a material which sets the bend parameters to predetermined values. I now want to modify the finish sheet metal feature to set some custom properties of the finished parts. Does anyone know how I can pull in the previous enum material…

Options to 'extend' a sheet metal part
Forgive me here as I'm fairly new to Sheet Metal in Onshape. I also haven't used the forum before. Am I correct in just linking to the document that I have a question about below?

Unequal Mitered Flanges in Sheet Metal
Mitered flanges work great. However, I have a requirement for mitered flanges on a box lid with 1" flanges on the sides and .75" flanges on the ends.

Why is my Extrude - Remove failing?
I have a sheet metal part that I am unable to extrude-remove material from the flanges. I think OnShape is trying to tell me what is wrong but I don't get it. I have extrude-removed holes and fillets on flanges in other drawings with success but using the same process here is giving me an error this time. Work Flow: Sketch…

Need advice for creating a sheet metal flange (non-rectangular)
Having difficulty in creating a flange on an interior cutout that is not "nicely" rectangular. Onshape seams to be having a problem with wanting to put in blend reliefs during the flange creation which are confusing the issue. The "Automatic miter" option isn't properly mitering the overlapping intersection. So I manually…
