Ok, so, I'm doing some eLearning (don't really like it) to refresh myself on sheetmetal, and found something interesting: I thought that the green side was ALWAYS on on side or the other. Seems, somehow, I managed to make the green side on 2 different sides. HUH???? Anyone else ever see this?SHEETMETAL+ISSUE-01.jpg

Correct, it is unattached. You have 2 "distinct pieces "according to the dialog in the floating toolbar (Creo 2).

Once you Merge them, the second piece will switch the "green" side to the master selected. FYI: Merge still uses the old menu manager.

You created the second wall using extrude, and the green side was automatically the sketch profile. Not sure why the turoial drove you down this alley but normally you would create a Flat feature (next to flange).

I also noticed the use of a flange for the other bend. Again, a Flat here would suffice. Flanges are geared more towards cylinders. I learned this after a while too.

Oops, meant to include the actual file. I know it was what I did, but I'm surprised the software let me do it. No wonder it won't let me do an unbend......
