So, SolidWorks gives us a couple tools for dealing with this, and it's called, generally, a closed corner. So right up here, under the sheet metal tab, you see we have one called corners, and under there is closed corners. And that's what we're going to be using in this video. But before we do that, let's go ahead and create one more flange.
