Sheet metal - create a dart form feature
Sheet metal - create a dart form feature
(OP)
Hello guys,
I'm having difficulty in creating a dart in sheet metal. My reference to a dart is a strenghtening crease to a right angled wall. There are no pre-defined form features of this sort in the library. Is there an easy way to generate one.

The link works fine and I found the gusset example, thanks. Just like you I've been using the "brute force" method of using surfaces, and also shelling (clumbsy but it works).
The indent method also works, but the indents have to be suppressed if you want to do any unfolding.
Anyway, Dutch7777 and TheTick, thanks for taking the time to help me out. Keep up the good work.
