Which part do you want to do a sheet metal on?

on the grid

OK on the grid, but where?

First of all, you need to convert your part into a sheet metal part with the "Insert Folds" function and then the sheet metal functions will be available. For example, by making a "sketched fold" you will be able to bend the legs as shown in my image.

 

Kind regards

In the sheet metal module:

do "Insert folds" and select one in front of your piece.

The part is converted to Sheet Metal by SolidWorks

Then press "select Sheet metal bent on edge" and that's it!!!

In addition, if you do these sheet metal functions before your linear repeat, your folds will be repeated (saving time).
