To add junction to corner of corner:

1. Start with a base plate or sheet, select a corner vertex to apply relief
2. Click on the Junction tool to add a junction cut to corner.

• Method 1: Part Cube
• Method 2: An extruded solid made with Part Extrude from either a:

• Draft Rectangle or a
• Draft Wire or a
• Sketch
• Use Part Thickness to create shell (Typically with the thickness value of the sheet metal.)

• Method 3: PartDesign Body containing either an

• additive box or a
• PartDesign Pad made from a Sketch.
• Use PartDesign Thickness to create shell (Typically with the thickness value of the sheet metal.)

If you start with a PartDesign Body, you can mix Sheet Metal features with PartDesign features such as pockets or holes.
