WF 2.0, not much experience with sheetmetal.
I am modeling a sheetmetal part. I want it to basically look like this:
/__________\
With two flanges or flat walls at 45 degrees from the initial wall.
I start with a 12 x 10 inch unattached flat wall. I then add a flange wall or a flat wall with a bend radius. The problem is, now my part is no longer 12 x 10. Giving the wall an angle of less than 90 degrees (with respect to the initial wall) effectively shrinks my part. I have tried different options and material sides and offsets and whatnot, but have not found a way to do what I want. With no bend radius it is ok. I suppose I could try to fudge it, but I don't want to. What's the point?
I would think the program would have an option to maintain the outline size (design intent) of the original wall or somesing.
Any help?
