Hi,

Not sure if this is possible, but I'm trying to draw a bracket and model it in 3D.

I don't seem to be able to split the folded area, as the whole surface is folded, so in the end I had to create another folded part, rotate it and join the two solids.

I did a quick example, use separate bend lines, plus and - degrees, and always
bend on the centerline of the thickness.

Hi Larry

I never knew this about the middle bend line, I always thought you applied the line to the inside of the bend.
I'm going to redraw the part now, and apply your thinking.

Thanks again for taking the time to answer

Hi again Larry,

It wasn't as simple as I thought, took some attempts & undos before it managed it...
