Also. I don't think it's possible but mabey i am missing something. Can a scetched bend be tapered so the one end has a 2 degree angle and the other end say 80" away has 15 degrees.

However if you can split your sheet at the 2° & 15° intersection, then it would be possible to do two sketched bends, one for each angle.

RE: sheet metal
In the "real world" how do you would manufacture a 2º to 15º bend? The answer to this can gide you in the way you should model your part.

RE: sheet metal
If you routinely need to model items that look like a HVAC Y-connector, or similar type of ducting transition, you might want to look at a partner solution like the AutoPOL Unfolder. It will take a thin extrude model from SolidWorks and unfold it and let you import the flattened geometry back to SolidWorks if desired. It can handle tapering bends, but not bends on curved edges.
