Moderate Sheetmetal Part 3: The sheetmetal features determine the thickness and bend radius. We will be using a 16 Gauge Aluminum for this model. A Mid Plane extrusion to center is used with respect to the Right Plane. A Base Flange/Tab feature can be used not only as the first feature, but also to add more material at the same thickness like the rest of the part.
