thank you all for the result,
i tried it last night and it was just the normals setting i failed to try.
it worked great and my model is now complete.
i owe you all a beer sometime.

ill try my update see what happens.
i tried the single line cut worked great.
but when i flatten it wont let me do that either.
cheers
ill try 2010 and see.

i made a spline profile
then i made clicked insert->sheet metal->base flange
hieght of eg: 100mm
then i cut the angle off with a closed spline and extruded cut
then i wont let me flatten or make edge flanges!!!
hi
wow that solution was fast and seemed to look great, but is it a sheet metal part?
when i make my sheet metal part from my spline, and then i cut a 6.26degree angle off the bottom, it will not let me make tabs and it doesnt let me unfold "has beveled edges cannot flatten"
am i building this...
hi
im having trouble in putting edge flanges on a surface that is angled but i would like the tabs to be parallel to the surface like in the picture.
thanks
simon
