Flip bend in ST sheet metal
Flip bend in ST sheet metal
(OP)
I have a simple sheet metal panel with one bend. I need a left and right style of this part so I've drawn one side with bend and then save a copy for the other side. I would like to flip the bend direction so it projects down instead of up but when I try to grab the bend and rotate 180 degrees with the wheel I get a face/face check failure. See the attached file.

In this case as things are very simple, I would just delete the flange and add another which goes in the correct direction.

Or very similar is to
Deatch existing flange and other geometry
Mirror it all then re-attach
There maybe also circumstances where the steering wheel can be used with the detach option set and the geomtry moved / rotated. All depends on what the final result needs to be.
