How do I easily change the green to bending. Red to become one surface. Blue to change to welding in solid works.
It is sheet metal. I want to improve my SolidWorks skills.

Looks like you created a bend on the top. Create the same way.

Solidworks doesn't play nice when trying to change/mix modeling styles. If your corner isn't already a sheet metal bend, then you either started with surfaces or conventional modeling. Either way, trying to make adjustments into sheet metal is likely a lost cause. Start your part over as a sheet metal part. Once you start to learn what inputs are needed for the different functions, sheet metal parts are pretty easy.

Go through the Sheet metal Tutorials before you start your next part.
