SW geeks, how would you do this in SW? How would you flatten a bend like that in SW. I don't think it's possible in SW...

Good question @Jaylin Hochstetler ,,, I'm impressed with the Solid Edge sheet metal capabilities. Going to have to get a trial version and immerse myself into it. In SW I would make two 3d sketches and do a lofted bend.

I don't think either SE or SW gives you quite what you would expect, but probably the overall length is fairly close. If this part was accomplished with a twisted rectangular blank it probably would look more like this.
