    1.

    Activate ​the ​End Cap Cover ​component


    2. Select the b​ ottom flat face​ and select ​Extrude
    a. Change the ​Extent Type​ to T ​ o Object
    b. Select the ​inside flat face​ to “cut away” the bottom of the End Cap Cover

    c.
    3. Activate ​the​ Table Assy component
    4. Switch to the ​Sheet Metal Tab​ across the top
    5. Create ​a new ​Sheet Metal component​, called ​Leg Support Plate​, using ​Stainless
    Steel (mm)
    6. Create ​a ​sketch ​on the​ inside face​ of the E
    ​ nd Cap Cover
    a. Project ​the ​inside face​ of the End Cap Cover
    b. Draw ​a trapezoidal shape ​coincident to the inside corners​ of the cutout (​see
    image​)
    c. Draw ​a ​vertical construction line​ from the ​midpoint ​of the cutout to m
    ​ idpoint
    of the bottom horizontal line
    d. Dimension ​this line to be ​4in​ (​even though we are in mm​)
    e. Dimension ​the horizontal line to be ​10.25in​ (​even though we are in mm​)

    f.
    7. Use the Sheet Metal ​Flange ​command to create a sheet metal part.
    a. Make sure the ​Thickness ​option is set to the correct side so it ​extrudes away
    from the End Cap Cover and not into it
    8. Select ​the ​top edge​ of the sheet metal part and ​right-click-->Flange
    a. Change ​Edge 1​ to ​Symmetric
    b. Distance = ​92mm
    c. For the ​Height​, click on the flat face of the wall of the End Cap Cover
    d. Height Datum =​ Inner Faces
    e. Bend Position = ​Inside

    f.
    9. Now create a ​flange ​on b ​ oth inside angled edges
    a. Height = ​130mm
    b. Height Datum = ​Inner Faces
    c. Bend Position = ​Adjacent
    10. Fillet ​the bottom corner edge ​80mm

    a.
    11. Create a ​flange ​on the bottom long edge
    a. Height = ​5.5mm
    b. Height Datum = ​Inner Faces
    c. Bend Position = ​Adjacent

    d.
    12. Create another ​flange ​on the b
    ​ ottom edge​ of the lip you just created
    a. Change ​Edge 1​ to ​Symmetric
    b. Distance = ​82mm
    c. Height = ​10mm
    d. Angle = ​0
    e. Height Datum = ​Inner Faces
    f. Bend Position = ​Adjacent

    g.
    13. Fillet ​the sharp corners of the two small flanges ​10mm

    a.
    14. Now we are going to create the bent metal section that follows the pipes
    a. Turn on ​the ​Tube component
    b. Create a ​flange ​on the top edge of the “wing”
    c. Change the ​Edge 1​ to ​Two Offset
    d. Start dragging​ the “inside” arrow to create a ​-20mm distance​ for the tab
    e. Height = ​20
    f. Angle = ​48

    g.
    15. Click ​on the ​top edge​ of the new flange you just created and create another ​flange
    a. Height = ​10mm
    b. Angle - ​30 ​(play around with the angle to have it “match” the pipe

    c.
    16. Add ​one more ​flange
    a. Height = ​10mm
    b. Angle = ​20

    c.
    17. Fillet ​the 2 sharp edges ​10mm

    a.
    18. Use the ​Hole ​command to make a ​12mm diameter hole
    a. Position it ​33mm​ over from the ​left face​ and ​10mm ​up from the ​lower edge

    b.
    19. Create ​another ​hole​, ​10mm in diameter​, ​43mm over​, and ​65mm​ up from the same
    edges as before

    20.
    21. Mirror ​the ​3 flanges​,​ the fillet​, and the​ 2 hole features​ over to the other side using the
    midplane between the two pipes

    a.
    22. Unfold ​the part to see that the mirror features actually unfold! (​Cancel to refold)​
    23. Create a new Sheet Metal component​ called ​Leg Tab​ using the same sheet metal
    rule.
    24. Create a new sketch​ on the ​inside face​ of the sheet metal component
    a. Project ​the ​left ​and ​bottom flanges o
    ​ nto the sketch
    b. Create ​a ​35mm long line​ as shown in the image

    c.
    d. Constrain ​the line to be ​parallel ​with the ​angled flange
    e. Dimension t​ he line to be ​45mm over from the inside edge​ of the angled flange
    and ​32mm up from the bottom flange

    f.
    25. Use the line to ​create a sheet metal flange​ ​55mm long​. Make sure the ​Thickness ​is
    set to ​Side 1

    a.
    26. Chamfer ​the edges of the tab ​10mm
    27. Fillet ​the ​chamfer edges​ with a​ 5mm fillet

    a.
    28. Create a sketch​ on one of the flat faces of the tab
    a. Project ​the ​circle ​from the flange onto the tab

    b.
    29. Use the ​Hole ​command to ​create a hole​ at the center point of the circle
    a. Create an ​11mm diameter hole​ through the tab

    b.
    30. Mirror ​the ​Leg Tab​ to the other side of the part using the ​midplane ​as the ​mirror plane
    31. Activate ​the ​Leg Support Plate​ sheet metal component
    32. Create a sketch​ on the ​outside flat face
    a. Create ​a ​22mm diameter circle​ near the lower-right corner of the trapezoid
    b. Dimension ​the circle to be​ 43mm over​ and ​20mm up​ from corner

    c.
    33. Draw ​a ​Centerline ​through the ​midpoints ​of the trapezoid
    34. Use the ​Mirror ​command to ​mirror the circle
    a. Notice because you used a Centerline, the mirror command automatically
    selected it as the Mirror Line

    b.
    35. Extrude/Cut​ the ​circles through the part
    36. Create ​a ​new ​Standard ​component​ called ​Handle Mount ​under ​Table Assy
    37. Create ​a ​sketch ​on the ​flat face​ of the sheet metal part
    38. Extrude ​the ​circular profile​ of the hole as a ​Thin-Walled extrude
    a. Set the ​Direction ​to ​Two Sides
    i. Side1
    1. Distance ​into the sheet metal part = ​-8mm
    2. Wall Thickness​ = ​1.5mm
    ii. Side2
    1. Distance ​away from Sheet Metal part = ​-20mm
    2. Wall Thickness​ = ​1.5mm

    b.
    39. Copy and Paste​ the Handle Mount over to the other hole using ​Move/Copy​ and ​Point
    to Point ​as the ​Move Type

    a.
    40. Add the Decal
    a. Scale ​and ​position ​it so it is centered between the Handle Mounts
    b. Turn off​ the ​Chain Faces option​ as it is only on one face (rotate around to show
    why)

    c.
    41. Save​!
    42. Imagine trying to model this without using sheet metal!
