Unfold error
Unfold error
(OP)
Greetings!
I don't have a huge amount of experience with SolidWorks, so the answer to this may be simple.
I'm attempting to convert an imported AutoCAD model (the top half of a .125 thick, aluminum kiosk). However, there's one radius that it just won't let me select (highlighted in red in the attached screenshot). It gives me the error:
"The edge/face selected for a bend is not on the same side as the fixed face."
Any help would be most appreciated! I've also attached the SolidWorks file.

RE: Unfold error
In SW13, the feature recognition works well, except for one feature which has a sketch way outside the model.

After recognizing all the features, how would I go about unfolding it? It seems that after you do that you can no longer carry out sheet metal functions.
Ack, I feel like an idiot :p

Just select the body and use the Flatten tool.
RE: Unfold error
Two issues:
a - Why does it invert the curves on that middle opening, turning them into bulges?
b - It doesn't seem to want to unfold the side panels
Thanks so much for your help thus far, I appreciate it!
RE: Unfold error
Could be a glitch, so maybe submit to your VAR.
The side panels are separate bodies (expand the FM Cut List folder), and are already flat.
RE: Unfold error
For posterity, I solved the problem of the inverted hole curves by turning off the "Recognize holes as wizard holes" option.
