sheet metal- trying to create a "twist"
sheet metal- trying to create a "twist"
(OP)
Here is my question.
I have a rectagular sheet metal part (on the front plane) and I have an edge flange protruding from one end of the sheet metal base. Now perpendicular to the "front" plane I have a sketch (construction) line drawn at a 30 degree angle, now my problem is that I would like to use the construction line as a reference for the end flange to line up with. so in essence the flange would have a twist to it. is this possible?
if so how would I go about it.

RE: sheet metal- trying to create a "twist"
There are probably several ways create a model of the part you want, but from your description, SW will nor be able to create the part as a Sheet Metal part. ie you will not be able to flatten it to create a blank shape because material deformation (or stretching) is involved.
Check the Help & Tutorials for methods of using sweeps and/or surfaces.
