Unfold Sheetmetal Part with Different Radiuses???
Unfold Sheetmetal Part with Different Radiuses???
(OP)
Hello Board:
I am having trouble unfolding a sheetmetal part.
The part happens to have 90deg sharp bends and two .187 radius 90deg bends.
I know i should first use the "insert bends" feature, however, this feature only lets me assign ONE radius to all bends!!!
Once i use insert the bends, the part unfolds no problem, but it is not what i want. I need those 187's in there!
Needless to say, it is driving me nuts. Help please.

Once inserted, expand Flatten-Bends and RMB one of the "Sharpbend" and go to "Edit feature".
Uncheck default radius and add your radius. Do that for each bend.
That's it.

How come after i flatten my part all my cuts disappear? Is this supposed to happen or is there a setting for this.
Sorry about the newbie questions but i am not too familiar with sheetmetal.
Thanks.
