Join Gabriel Corbett for an in-depth discussion in this video Working with the Edge Flange, part of Designing a Sheet Metal Enclosure with SOLIDWORKS.
…The Edge Flange tool, is one of the…secondary building blocks, for designing in sheet metal.…Use this tool to add flanges to existing edges.…Also keep in mind that we can change the…shape of the flange, using the Edit Flange Profile tool.…Let's take a look at a few examples.…I have file 1.4 open, and it's just a basically flat.…Sheet metal piece.…And first I'm going to go ahead and just going to choose…an edge, that I want to add the edge flange to.…So I can choose any one of these edges around the part,…either on the top side or bottom side, of the sheet metal piece.…
So in this case, I'm going to go over here to Sheet Metal,…click on Edge Flange, and I'm just going to choose one of those edges.…Notice I already had that one preselected, so it automatically chose that one.…But if you want to change to a different one, just click over here.…Hit Delete, and then choose another one, okay?…Now you can see there's two different arrows.…My first arrow here, allows me to drag it up and down, just to…kind of give you a visual representation of how long that flange is going to be.…
