Create an "offset hem" or "countersunk lap seam" in SE with Sheet Metal

Create an "offset hem" or "countersunk lap seam" in SE with Sheet Metal

(OP)
I've used inventor quite a bit, and am able to create what I believe is called an offset hem, basically bumping out 2 flanges, but only bumps out the thickness of your sheet, so that one sheet can overlap another.

Is this possible in SE? I saw under the hem properties I can change the hem type to "open" which gives me the spacing I want, but I want it to essentially flip around the other direction instead of curling over. I hope this makes sense.

Looks like I figured out my own question. I used a "jog" with a distance of .001 that should work, but if anyone has any other suggestions I'd be happy to hear them for future reference as well.

Hello,

I was thinking about a jog as well. That's probably your best option.
