Hi all,
I'm new to FreeCAD and use it mainly for sheet metal applications.
Recently I found a weird behaviour that I suspect to be a bug.
Please refer to the bend "WallBR" in the attached file.
The curve itself is correct, however the extend direction of the flat is inverted.
Do others have this issue to?
Is there a quick fix for it?
And how can I tell the developer about this issue?
Tanks for help and king regards

Re: Sheet Metal Bug
Moved to help forum.
The problem is the use of gap2, which is 10mm. If you set to any value different from 0 you see this effect. As a workaround you can create the bend with its default parameters and pocket the gap yourself.

Re: Sheet Metal Bug
Thanks for the move.
The problem already occurs after specifying gap1.
My workaround is defining a length of 0 and then using Pad from the Part Design workbench. Its much less hassle then making the necessary pockets for the relief etc.

Re: Sheet Metal Bug
Hi
The problem is that you mix Gap, pocket, relief in or around Sheetmetal Wb
look what I did from your basen, I made holes, folds in all directions (without respecting your dim) and even a staple (which made me a lot of headache) ), and unfold it

Re: Sheet Metal Bug
It is a Bug.
Note : Open Sheetmetal.py in your Mod/sheetmetal Folder in text editor, change from revFace.normalAt(0,0) to selFace.normalAt(0,0) from line 185 to 206, recompute, it's orientation become correct.
