    I don't think HEM feature can be made on a cicular disc. You can use
    sweep ption.

    just a reminder, the sheetmetal tools in sw are based on/limited to press
    brake functions.

    The part I am modeling is a tab style blower wheel that has a hem on
    the edge of a disc.

    Things with developable surfaces.
    Which does not sound like a developable surface.
    (Such simple concepts drive jb nuts as he has no clues.)
    How would anybody actually make it?

    Curling the edge? Welding several bits? Drawing?
    Suggest model as several bits & then join them, if so.

    originally you stated the hem was around the edge, that made it sound like
    the entire edge.

    so if it's only a tab you should be able to model.

  7. I can't help, but there is an example on the SW Forum that should do it for
    you. It is in the Sheet Metal forum. The fellow who posted it is M. G.
    Martinez. It was posted on 4/24/2008.
