Face Flat Pattern

Face Flat Pattern

RE: Face Flat Pattern

To be able to use the Flatten function, the part needs to be a Sheet Metal part.

Is the part being made from tube or solid bar as shown, or from Sheet Metal?

cheers

RE: Face Flat Pattern

(OP)
It's being made from a rolled plate.

If you add the axial gap and convert the part to SM, you will be able to flatten it.

Is that like a split or a seam?
