Hi @VladimirPalffy

 

 the second method is absolutly fantastic. All in one feater... it´s around 6-8 features less than l would use.

 

Applaud for you...

Thanks for great tip

Good stuff, thanks for sharing it.

 

A method I've used that's similar to the second is to shell the solid before the conversion.  If you shell to the length of the return flanges you want, you can get consistent flange length on a more complex part where a simple extrude won't give you what you want.

I have a challenge for you guys 🙂

 

We use the "start with solid, then convert to sheetmetal" method a lot, but this part in particular is giving me headaches.

 

Please see the picture below. The edge the red arrow is pointing to is now defined as an Edge Rip, but I want to have a Bend at that edge. But Creo keeps throwing an error when I want to change that edge to a bend.

 

In my mind, it should be possible...can't get it to work.

 

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance, I'm looking forward seeing your solution 🙂

 

P.s. The part posted is from PRO/E Wildfire 4, but we also have Creo 4.0
