Sheet Metal help (again!)

Hi again,

 

I have a sheet metal part on which I have created a lofted flange. The problem I have is that my client wants this making in 8 sections, the deltas and the 4 corners (don't me ask why!). Now, I can achieve this by driving it from a 3D sketch, but I was hoping that I could just somehow rip the lofted flange on each of the 8 points and extract them or split them away individually somehow?

 

What's the best way of doing this?

 

I've attached the sheet metal component.

Hi JD, Press brake formed

 

Attached is how I have done this. I have created a master sketch, then derive the 8 sections from this.

 

I can't seem to achieve this any other way, even splitting using workplanes doesn't seem to work if I loft flange the whole thing and go down that route

 

Lord knows why they don't just press this in two sections :)
