Flange tool - Sheet Metal

Having problems trying to create sheet metal designs in fusion. I have given up several times in the past using the Sheet Metal Workspace because I couldn’t get it to function. Is there a common issue with not being able to select edges to create Flanges from? I can draw a basic shape like a square and pull flanges all day, but as soon as I start on an actual part it seems I cant pull flanges. Does the sketch need to originate in Fusion? Perhaps I need to check the nodes on my sketch and make sure the lines are straight… but lofted flanges can handle curves…?

I always start with a body that you “Convert to Sheet Metal”


Once it is converted then the flange tool works
