Going out for a Joggle (revisited)

This is actually a repost of an older post that, well, needed quite a bit of revamping. I hope everyone finds this a better explanation than the last one!

Creating a joggle in sheet metal isn’t a difficult task once you know how to approach it. The following steps will describe how to create a joggle using a combination of two different face tools.



Step 1: Using the face tool, create your first feature.









Step 2. Create a sketch on top of face completed in Step 1.








Step 3: Create a new rectangle (or other shape), on the plane, making sure to make one edge is colinear to the face created in




Step 4: Create a face using the sketch created in Step 3. Make sure you use the following settings:

a. The Face adds its thickness in such a way, it creates a step.

b. The Bend button is and the edge of the previous face is selected.









Hit Okay, and that will complete the joggle.
