RE: how to model this in using sheetmetal
1) Enter the Sheet Metal mode.
1) Select the Base Flange/Tab icon & create the vertical flat section as your Base-flange1.
2) Select the Edge Flange icon, select bottom edge of Base Flange.
3) Select Material inside (first) icon under Flange position
4) Select Edit Flange Profile then grab an end point of the line which is on the bottom edge of the Base Flange & move it toward the centre of the edge. Do the same for the other end point then click in graphics area to select direction of bend.
5) Dimension to suit then click Finish
There are other methods, but I find this to be the simplest.

I do not have 2005 yet, but in 2004, I would start by making the back vertical piece using the sheet metal tool. I would then use the miter flange tool to make the bottom horizontal piece. Specify a Start/End Offset and select Rectangular from the custom relief type with a relief ratio of your choice.

In this case I would build 3 extrusions. The far face, the middle span, and the near face. Then select the top face of the middle span, and click "Insert Bend" in the sheet metal toolbar. It adds both bends for me exactly as drawn in the picture.
I'm still using 2001+, so I am not aware of any improvements since.

Also, create a sketch, then use extrude "base-flange tab" from the sheetmetal toolbar. From there you can create your bends, etc. Play with the different features to learn what they do. Find some parts in others web site and download, see how they are done.

RE: how to model this in using sheetmetal
When you do an edge flange, the sketch line that is on the edge can never be longer than the edge. You can tweak the sketch to accomidate this by including the reliefs in the sketch or something similar.

That's the nice thing about SW, you are not constrained by one method... most of the time.
