  1. Create a blank
    1. Select the outline sketch
    2. Press the Make Base Wall button
      or use the keyboard shortcut: C then B

      (The blank is padded in z direction and so it has to be flipped
      each time, to select the bottom face that is lying on the sketch plane)


  2. Fold the tip
    1. Select the blank's bottom face
    2. Select the sketch named Tip Fold line (preferably from the tree view)
      (and don't forget the control/command key )
    3. Press the Fold a wall button
      or use the keyboard shortcut: C then F
    4. The fold should be 90° down and so some values in the properties window need to be set e.g.:
      - the angle value to 60°
      - the invert value to true for an upward bend

  3. Create the downward fold
    1. Select the blank's bottom face
    2. And then the sketch named Down-Fold line
    3. Press the Fold a wall button
      or use the keyboard shortcut: C then F
    4. Set the angle value to 92°
    5. If the wrong section of the part moved set the invertbend value to true

  4. To create the upward fold
    1. select the blank's bottom face
    2. and then the sketch named Up-Fold line
    3. Press the Fold a wall button
      or use the keyboard shortcut: C then F
    4. Set the angle value to 80°
    5. If the fold is downward set the invert value to true
    6. If needed set the invertbend value to true

Done!
