Two things you can do to get bends in a flat part that already has the flatpattern with tabs.(It makes sense to me)
1) - in process bends make a sketch of your bend lines - then expand process bends. You can edit each bend individually for degree, direction, etc. 2) Sketched bends - draw a sketch of each bend that is in the same direction and the same degree you can put multiple bends in one sketch but they all have to be identical - use the sketched bend tool here you can specify the degree, direction, etc but you are not able to specify them individually. - repeat for each different bend.If you get bend errors you may have to add relief in the corners so that the bends don't run into eachother. I just use circular relief. I increment the sizes until it works to have the minimum relief possible.
