Sheet metal: a feature set we do not have yet #11

Idea. Upstream keeps building sheet metal: convert a solid to sheet metal by finding bends (#7582, #7581, #7580), contour flange options (#7652), jog (#6047), bend relief shapes (#6059), edge flange set-backs (#4340), fold a blank (#7025).

Why for us. Enclosures and brackets are a large share of hobby and small-shop CAD. The book lists no sheet-metal features.

Do. Decide scope: base flange, edge flange, bend table and flat pattern as a first slice.

Size: L.
