Join Gabriel Corbett for an in-depth discussion in this video Making miter flanges, part of Designing a Sheet Metal Enclosure with SOLIDWORKS.
…The Miter Flange tool in SolidWorks works similar to the Edge Flange tool, with…a major exception of how we actually…create that feature, and how it handles corners.…To get started let's create a sketch of the flange we'd like to build.…Now the Miter Flange tool needs a sketch showing what that profile is.…So I need to choose a face or plane to draw that on.…So I'm going to jump over here to the Sketch tab, start a sketch.…And I'm going to choose one of these faces.…So in this case here I'm going to choose this face…of the part, and keep in mind over here's the origin.…
I want to keep track of where the origin is…in relationship to where I'm going to be starting my flange.…Start with just this Basic Line tool.…And I'm going to start right here on this upper corner, and that's important…because if I wanted to go down I would start on the bottom corner.…But if I want to go up let's start on the…upper corner, and let's just drag our flange up to some distance.…And, I can continue on right?…I don't have to just make one flange like we would with the Edge flange, I can also…
