hei'ya Joe, hard to tell what's going on without a scrnshot or file, but my guess is
you have a sketch that cann't be converted to sheet metal/folded due to its shape or
restraints. FWIW try:-
new part>
select (from sheetmetal tools) base flange/tab>
select plane and sketch outer contour>
ok/close/confirm sketch>
set base flange thickness/and other options>
ok/close/confirm selections
this is the base flange you want to add the sketched bend to ..
select (from sheetmetal tools) sketched bend>
select a planar surface to sketch the bend on>
sketch the bend line (you can have multiple disjointed ie single lines, remember that the fold acts on each)
ok/close/confirm sketch>
select fixed face/surface and other options ie bend position and conditions>
see if this helps dude, if not post a file or scrnshot so we can see your sketch conditions
have a good'n kelef
