how to fold a sheet metal in inventor

how to fold a sheet metal in inventor

(OP)
Hi, I have sheet metal that I prefer to draw in unfolded position because it is somehow complicated (it has a flower shape) and then fold it with 75 degrees... but I can't seem to be able to do that, can anyone help please?

RE: how to fold a sheet metal in inventor

You must have linear edges as fold lines.  The part you are developing cannot be folded/unfolded as one model (in Inventor).  You will need to generate a model to show the flat pattern and then another for the "pressed" shape.
