EXTRACTED REQUEST: i have a smetal part in solid works 2025 that needs an odd cut to happen to it what the best way to go about this. the leg closest to us needs the corner point shifted 1.06 the next point marked needs to be shifted 1.25 and then the final cut is 90 to the rest of the part

ASSISTANT RESPONSES:
1. Got it — this is one of those “annoying but doable cleanly” sheet metal cuts 👍 You basically want a compound angled trim across formed geometry, not just a flat cut. The cleanest way in SolidWorks 2025 (and one that won’t break your flat pattern) is:. 🔧 Best Method: Cut With Surface (MOST ROBUST) This gives you full control over those offsets (1.06, 1.25, and the 90° face). Step-by-step: 1. Create reference geometry - Create a Plane on the end of the part (or use the end face if it works) - This is just your sketching reference. 2. Sketch your cut profile (THIS is the key) On that plane: - Draw the profile that matches what you sketched in red: - Bottom point → shift 1.06 - Next corner → shift 1.25 - Final s…

EXTRACTED KNOWLEDGE / HOW-TO
- --
- Create a Plane on the end of the part (or use the end face if it works)
- This is just your sketching reference
- Draw the profile that matches what you sketched in red:
- Bottom point → shift 1.06
- Next corner → shift 1.25
- Final segment → make it 90° to the main face
- Fully define this sketch
