OK, sometimes sheet metal drives me batty. I have two near identical
parts, in fact one is a copy of the other, but tweaked to end up as a
mirror image. On one part I've added a cut to a corner of a hemmed wall
and got exactly what I wanted:
On the other part, the same cut built the same way gets me this:
It's trimming back and distorting the bend on the hem. The first one
will flatten as expected, the second won't. I've tried alternate sketch
planes, closed vs. open sketches and different dimensioning schemes and
nothing changes.
Can someone tell me why this is happening?
