Good morning,
I want to make a nice corner seam of the two flanges I made in a piece of sheetmetal, but it won’t work as the way I want to….
These are the stapes I have made:
1) Make a planer (2mm)
2) Create a flange (#1, manipulated in the sketch option so I have two bends)
3) Create a new flange #2 with a chain. (you can see in the blue circle that the corner is not nice)
4) Create a new flange #3
5) Create a new flange #4 (see that the bend is not nice, the green circle)
How can I make the two “red” corners together. (in Inventor there is a commando “corner seam”, or “mitter” ) Did I used the wrong bend commando?
My goal is to make a box with a removable top. It has to be waterproof welded after bending.
Thanks, Stefan.

Hi Stefan,
I've been trying to solve this for a long time now. No solutions so far.
It seems that Inventor just has a better function here. Works nicely and looks good also

Strange thing. When I make a Planer and the whole flange all around the surface of the plane, then I can select “edge treatment” and can I give a gap.
I don’t know why it doesn’t work in my former example. Sometimes you are running around to find a way, that you forget which path you have taken…..
