How to define sheet metal rolled sheet metal

Hello

I have a sheet that needs to be rolled in part and I would then like to add a fold on the edge to this sheet, but I can't define my rolled sheet metal as sheet metal

SW tells me that there are no wrinkles

The edge bend at an angle of 8°/ vertically and measures 144 mm, the reference edge is at the bottom (for more precision)

Will anyone have a solution to offer me

Thank you

Ps: I'm a novice in SW

Hello, you need to select an edge as the fixed face and click on list the folds.

The best way to draw a rolled sheet metal is to use the "Transition Fold" function

 

Draw your 2 circles on the 2 different planes and use this function.

 

This will go much faster than converting to sheet metal.

Hello bart

Always there when we need help!! Thank you

I have to insert folds?, because converting to sheet metal doesn't work

It doesn't want to select an edge but a face yes

Is that right?

And if you want to add a crease on the curved part, the best thing to do is to do everything at the same time with the swept folded sheet function.
