Try creating a datum plane, offset from a edge surface. Then create a bend, the plane will stay in it's original 3d space. In part modeling the plane would follow the surface of the offset and stay parallel. Is this a sheetmetal bug? Is there a config setting which controls the way the plane reacts?
