cone to flat pattern in SW
cone to flat pattern in SW
(OP)
I have made a cone in sw using revolve. It's a thin because I used only one line in a angle. I would like to control the thickness and flatten the cone. Can some on tell me the best steps for making a cone that needs to be converted to a flat pattern? I made the code 359.999 deg so not to close it and then tried to insert/sheetmetal/bends after that it just tells me no bends found.
Thanks
Thanks

If you click on the Grey button just under the title at the top of your post (NOT the Green Search Button higher up) and type flatten cone into the keyword box you'll get quite a few tips and methods.

You can also try making the cone and then converting to sheet metal after creating the revolve using "Insert-->Sheet Metal--> Bends".
