Sheet metal corner treatment

Hi all

A bit stupid but essential question:

I made the plans for several sheet metal covers. Is there a parameter in the sheet metal to make my corners fit better than what I have at the moment?

On the picture, on the left side a corner with a 2mm clearance (which is too big). On the right side, I made a closed corner function which gives me a great result. But doing this function on each corner of my sheets seems a bit tedious to me.

I assume that a quick and easy solution exists, but what is it?

Thanks in advance

Hello

And yes there is a solution, but it increases the size of the file, what I do, I put an annotation on the drawing.

As for the function, you have to go to the sheet metal module, I can't take a screenshot because my pc is working.

There you go, keep me informed as soon as I have a free moment I take a screenshot...

Hello

If your covers are simply a panel with 4 folds, just select in the sheet metal function "sheet metal bent on edge" and set the clearance you want between each fold. After that, it also depends on the initial design idea. Maybe a more precise capture of the hood could shed some light on it. 

Kind regards.
