  3. Some hints
    1. Check if the folded object's thickness is built to the right side.


      The yellow contour should lie on the top face of the bottom fold (as shown).
      To reverse direction set the value of Bend Side property (Outside <-> Inside).

    2. Hole shapes not touching the used planar face won't cut holes into the folded object.

      The lower rectangle which is hardly touching said face does cut a hole while the upper slot shape doesn't.
