SolidWorks Sheet Metal - Need Help
(OP)
Hi,
I have a project requiring a SolidWorks 2013 sheet metal part. The main piece created using a Base Flange. The two end pieces is the problem. The main piece on both ends needs capped off while maintaining the upper most 1" top flange. I have the end piece started but it needs to be trimmed to match the main pieces profile (see the attached grab from AutoCAD). Ultimately I need the flat pattern of this piece. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Please see attached screen grabs and SW file.
Thanks!

Realise though that the underlying sketch of a bend flange can be edited to suit the shape of the required flange.

The extended faces at the corners can be cut away with regular SW functions.
