Folding a sheet of paper in 2 directions?

Hi all

I try to fold a 100x90 sheet of paper using the sheet metal function.

The first step goes well, I manage to fold the sheet 4 times in the same direction  with the sketched fold function:

Folds in 1 direction

As soon as I try to fold this folded sheet perpendicularly by means of a sketched fold, I am stuck:

Result to be obtained

Is there a trick or is it simply impossible to get?

Thanks in advance

Hello

I don't think it's feasible, because of the thickness, solidworks doesn't know how to do that.

On the other hand, I think that we can obtain an approximate result outside the sheet metal module. But we won't be able to have it unfolded.

finally after trying, I get to qqch with the flex... But here, I didn't go very far... In the end, it must be possible.
