Dear shaise and other sheet metal developers. Your work and the results you achieved are incredible.

I am a mechanical engineer, with some modest experience in software design for mechatronic systems. My 3D background comes from CATIA and SolidWorks.

I noticed a strange behavior of sheet metal Bend function, which is presented with a simple model I attached.

Bend type: Material Outside is working as expected, except for gap1 and gap2. MaterialOutside

Bend type: Material Inside produces the below result. The same is true for Bend Type: Thickness Outside. In my opinion, there are two issues about this result:

MaterialInside

The result I would expect (apart from the correct gap1 and gap2) would be as presented on the picture below. Of course this is achievable with Extend Face feature, but this will not produce the correct angle on top (noted with circle on the picture).
