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?
 
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.
