Learn about this tip for those who use #SOLIDWORKS sheet metal. You probably, normally, come across a sketch and pull-edge type of flange to create sheet metal parts, which is fine for brackets and items of that nature.
But for other items, such as this featured chute, that's made from some pieces of metal welded together, approaching the model with that strategy gets labor intensive and trickier to execute. You can make progress with this when you use a strategy of modeling the volume it encompasses and working with sheet metal pieces off of that start. Start sketching and learn how!
