Hello SOLIDWORKS Power Users!

For eternal glory and 1000 points, provide the best solution to this problem:

1. Use a 1" square profile.

2. Create the shape in this picture, using R1". The other dimensions are not important.

3. Flatten it.

Disclaimer: I would use my judgment to pick "the best" solution. It will be probably subjective, so you should provide as many details as possible about the advantages of your solution over Deepak's.

Make your case.

We will accept entries until Friday, May 5th 2017, at noon.
