RE: step files to solidworks
However it will not matter if the Sheetmetal isn't one thickness or the bends are not true arc bends.

You can try to import it.... then in the sheetmetal module you can use the Insert Bends tool, you must create a solid body, then use Insert Bends to convert the part to sheet metal.
Give it a try.....I've done it before and worked fine...

The imported body must be one thickness for the Insert bends to work. The other thing about inserting bends on a imported body is that the Bends must be true arcs.
Hopefully that helps you understand my last statement above.
