Ah yes I see, I can bend one body at a time. Bit long winded but if I create multiple parts of the same body and bend a different body each time that should work I think. Thanks Very Much

Hi, Thanks CorBlimeyLimey and rgrayclamps for your patience. I think I've come at this from every angle, I've tried to sketch bend but it doesn't allow that. The attached part is the test piece I'm working on...

Hi CorBlimeyLimey, With the sheet metal method I used the unfold feature then tried to use the fold but came up with the error "this part contains features that cannot be unbent" I agree about creating as in real life but I can't figure out how to bend the flat sheet with the filigree on it...

Sorry forgot to mention that the picture above is of a sheet metal component unfolded. It doesn't fold.

Hi, This is a better image. I want to have the filigree bent over the surface but it doesn't matter if it's added before , after or during the bending. Basically any way I can get the filigree pattern on a a bend is good...

If necessary just the one. I'm working on a test part that has one body.

Hi, Thickened cut comes to the issue of making the patterned surface in the first place. rgrayclamps - it's a part model. Thanks

Hi, If I pierce all the way through it says sheet metal cannot support disjointed bodies. If I cut .5mm in it comes up with the error message "This bend has a cut that creates a beveled edge, which cannot be handled. The wrap tool seems to be only able to deal with one surface. so when it is...

Hi, Been looking on this this site for ages, amazing source of information. I have a problem with a current project I'm working on. I want to put a sketch on to a bend but not exclusively, the sketch continues on to the flat surfaces either side of the bend. I have tried sheet metal component...
