Hey folks,

I don't use the sheet metal tools in SOLIDWORKS very often, but I've created some simple models before (square boxes and lids, etc) so I know the basics.

I was asked to build what I thought was a pretty simple model for a hanging tray and develop it out for a shop drawing, but I'm running into problems with creating bends that aren't attached to the fixed face. I feel like there must be a simple solution to this (whether it's adjusting the model, or utilizing a tool that I'm unfamiliar with) so any advice on how to flatten out this simple model would be greatly appreciated!

I've attached some photos of where I'm at.

I'm using the bottom face as the fixed face in order to unfold the sides of the tray box, but it creates an un-editable rip edge along the full length of the vertical sides, not allowing me to also recognize those as bends. As a result, when unfolding, it leaves those two edges popped up.

Thanks in advance!
