Hello
I draw with Solidworks, and I would like to make sheet metal coverings. But I have a problem when I want to assemble the sheets at an angle, since I have a 45° cut I would have liked to know how to do it to be sure that when laying in real life my cuts fit perfectly? On my SW assembly, it's mainly the junction of the fold on the inside that causes me problems.
Thanks in advance

Quickly, other sheet metal pros will complete if necessary.
It depends on how you make the cut in real life: before or after folding.
If you want the cut to be done on the sidewall, I think you'll always have a gap between 2. It's easy to simulate with SW: make 2 pieces one with each method, you'll immediately see the problem.
After that, maybe in sheet metal, there are tricks to compensate, depending on the tools available and the operators.

Hello
To share an assembly, you have to make a pack'n go. Except in special cases, nothing can be done with sldasm files alone.
