Surface Flatten
Surface Flatten
(OP)
I am trying to flatten a cylindrical/circular surface, can you help; my flatten option is grayed out on Solidworks 2017. If it's posible for you can you create one so I can use as sample?

RE: Surface Flatten
You are not providing us much info. Flattening is a sheet metal process. You have to convert to sheet metal. If you have a tube, you have to rip it to create a seam.

There are also Sheet Metal features flattening which is in core SolidWorks.
Show us a screen shot of which command you are attempting to use?

RE: Surface Flatten
Since you do not have flat face, you cannot use convert sheet metal on your part. My suggestion, is that you try offsetting a surface @ 0.0, and using the Flatten surface command like I did in the attached file. (Version 2017)
