Hello
What is the last leg?
Still hasn't solved your problem?
Was your material removed before the fold? If so, try to make the fold, unfold and do your material removal afterwards.
Hi Roffi,
yes, but I don't want to do it after I did it for 3 paws but the 4 paws doesn' t work
Hello
As specified in the last request, I am willing to try to see this but I would need the part in solidworks format to be able to do tests
Your 4th paw looks different from the others in terms of its attachment, is this normal?

yes that's the problem
Hello nova141,
As promised, I took some time to work on your piece.
I can confirm that the problem comes from the removal of material that you have on each side of the lug (well, I think you understood that), indeed the sheet metal functions in SolidWorks require a constant thickness that you don't have anymore if you make these notches.
However I have a solution to do it, the part being relatively complex and heavy I don't hide the fact that I didn't go back to the original design so here is the approach:
- I filled the "notches" on each side of the lug with an extrusion function
- I made a sketch on the tab for the fold line and used the "sketched fold" function
- I got my first sketch which I used to fill in the notches to remove the material and therefore have my notches
I put a small screenshot of the creation tree to make it a little more meaningful.
Kind regards

Hello Thomas,
Can you send it back to me in solidworks format thank you
no problem, I'm willing to send it back to you... on the other hand I didn't pay attention and I did it in 2013 version :(

How do you create the yellow line on the tool courses feacture manager can we have it on solid 2012
Thank you
For the yellow bar (it's called the blocking bar!) it's at the top of your room's tree, just below the name of your file.
It allows you to
- Reduce reconstruction time
- Prevent accidental changes to the model
See help here -->http://help.solidworks.com/2012/french/SolidWorks/sldworks/c_Feature_Freeze.htm?id=15525424b0434c66846add338010d750#Pg0
New in 2012 ;-)
As Vincentb points out, this is the blocking bar, you can activate it in Tools, Option, General and check the box "Enabled the blocking bar" (the option is available in 2012)
it is not necessary to perform the functions, I activated the option just to save a little reconstruction time during my design
