Sheet Metal Joggle

[WagglyFawn]

Using 2009... Anyone know of some tricks for producing joggles on sheet metal parts?

[JD Mather]

Can you attach what you have so far or a picture of what you are after?

Maybe something like this (pull down red End of Part marker).

[WagglyFawn]

This is what I want to produce. I'm wondering if there's a different/easier/practical way to do this rather than what's shown in the modeling tree.

Why are you using extrusions and not sheet metal tools (face and 2 45° flanges)?

That being said you can create this in one step using a contoured flange.

Here is one method.
Pull down the red End of Part marker in the browser.

What do you mean by face? I can make a joggle using two 45° angles, but how would I ensure that I can maintain the .104 joggle thickness?

[Aardvark]

Face is a sheet metal tool.

I can think of several ways to ensure that the thickness is maintained. One would be to use parallel and tangent constraints, another would be to use the sheet metal tools (hint hint) as they will be created based on a material thickness that you input, or just offset one half of the profile. Did you take a look at JD's example?

Here are a few more examples.
