Hello
I would like to create a square to round sheet metal with the transition folds function, so far everything works the problem is that I try to make a straight part under the square duct like on the picture but it doesn't seem to work do you know how I could do it?
Thank you
Hello
To achieve this, you have two solutions:
sheet metal bent on edge
or swept bent sheet metal which is in my opinion the best

I have just realized that the swept folded sheet metal operation was called Folded Edge Sheet Metal in 2010.

Hello, the solution does not seem to work in solidwork 2010. I can't select the stop.

Hello
To make a square circle you need the same number of elements on the 2 sketches.
basically on the upper sketch it is a square with large radius (example square of 50x50 with radii of 24.8)
at the bottom it is a square with small radii (to be adjusted according to the thickness and bending radius).
may the force be with you.

Hello
Even with the folded edge sheet metal function as described in the help???

To do that, you just need to create a plan and draw the sketch of your fold, and then you select the sketch and your edge and click on the feature.
