Sheet Metal: Bend allong a curve
Sheet Metal: Bend allong a curve
(OP)
Is there a way to create a bend allong a curve using the sheet metal tools. I need to curl up the curved edge of a sheet metal part. I can model it a regular solid, but is there a way that I can do it so I can still create a flat patern?

To be able to do that would involve the material being deformed (stretched & thinned) in certain areas & SW cannot handle that.
