I have a rectangular sheet metal part. I have done edge flange on four sides. Each flange is separate from another. How can I join the corner side of 2 nearby flanges?
Any help will be highly apppreciated.

Thanks,

In the sheet metal tool bar, there should be a closed corner button.

Reaper.
 
Yes, I have seen that option. Here I can only extend one face. I can close corner by butt,overlap or underlap joint.
But instead of extending, I want to rotate that face and match with the other flange which is located at 90 degree angle.
I do not understand why they do not have the option for rotating the face.

Thanks,
 
Probably because it is so seldom used or needed.

Can you not reduce the length of one flange and add an Edge Flange to the adjacent flange.

Whichever way you do it, the faces cannot actually match or touch. There must be a gap if the part is to remain sheet metal.
