But before we jump into that tool I wanna create a sketch which is gonna define where that first bend is gonna happen. So let's go ahead and choose this surface right here, start a sketch, and let's go ahead and create a line from one side, all the way over to the other side. Once you have that line in there, let's go ahead and add a dimension from that line up to the top surface there. Type in eight millimeters and now we've got a basic line on that surface. Now jump over to Sheet Metal, click on Jog. And choose a fixed face, which is gonna be this one right here. And automatically I get a preview of my new jog feature, pretty nice. Now I can choose how I would like to create that jog offset, in this case here I'm using blind. I also have these other options here…
