perhaps model as parts:



*grounded linkage of hinge


*dynamic portion of part


*hinge area itself.



Assemble parts together in as-molded and hinged conditions.



Create the "as molded" part via merging the 3 parts together from the assembly in the flat state.

We've been having this discussion in PlanetPTC. A nice tutorial video as well...
