Hi all,

        I new to Creo and have been watching a lot of videos on YouTube but i have a problem I've not found the answer to.

I need to make the bracket (attached below) but the bracket itself bend to the right slightly and the wall of the bracket is at 90 degree bend decreasing to 80 at the front.

If anyone could help me make this i would really appreciate it.

Thank You

Bill

I would first create a solid model and then convert to sheetmetal. See attached prt.

Note that the model is only representative of your drawing and not as per the dimensions mentioned.

Creo is not designed to make a changing angle bend. The solid model of your shape then convert to sheet metal is the best way to make a shape that cannot be modeled in the sheet metal package.
