Dear SOLIDWORKS Sheetmetal Users,
I am writing a request to give a guidance to create the model. Kindly find the attachment regarding enclosure cover.
I tried in four different ways to achieve this model. But i am not able to trigger it.
S. No | Features | Comments |
1) | Cross Break | Only representation. not a geometric entity and does not alter the geometry of the part. |
2) | Sketched Bend | Only one sketched bend can do. |
2)a. | If we create edge flange with respect to that sketched bend | Feature intersects |
3) | Lofted Bend | Need smooth connections. Need at least two profiles. |
4) | Forming Tools | Sheet metal development will not recognize |
Thanks and Regards,
Bhoopathy

I'm not 100% sure I know what you are trying to acheive but I've made a couple of changes to your model which may guide you.
You can edit your flanges, that is after you have created them, you can edit the sketch. In your case because of the twist in the base you don't want the edge of you flange vertical. You can edit as per any sketch.
I alway bend my material to the outside and then use the close corner tool.
Hope this gives you some guidance.
