SolidWorks provides some tables, they can be found in the directory “C:\Program Files\SOLIDWORKS Corp\SOLIDWORKS\lang\english”, in folders called “Sheet Metal Gauge Tables” or “Sheetmetal Bend Tables”. The “Sheet Metal Parameters” and “Bend Allowance” sections can either be filled out manually or linked to tables. Similar to extrude, the directions cannot be selected and are normal to the sketch plane. Refer to the tutorial on “How to extrude at an angle in SolidWorks?” for a detailed explanation of the different types of end conditions. The next section relates to direction, the end condition options are the same as those for an extrude. There is an option to use the material sheet metal parameters, these parameters can only be applied to custom materials. In the Base Flange property manager, there are many options. Alternatively, the entire shape can be made in a single sketch, refer to the screenshot at the end of the tutorial for an example. A base flange sketch can be a single line, resulting in a flat sheet. Unlike most features, a closed sketch is not required. Select Base Flange/Tab to begin a sketch of the sheet metal part.
