Hi,

When unfolding or folding a part, I run into the problem that the knockouts don't follow...

Right now, I made the knockout on the flat pattern and it looks like that :

Which is perfectly fine.


But then, when I tried to fold back the part, it does that :

Is there any way for the knockout to follow the fold?


Thanks,

Sifu

Something must be odd in the way its modeled. I would make the knockouts as a form feature.
 
It actually is a form feature.

I found the problem, it was in our config.pro file.

The command smt_merge_form_sides yes was removed for an obscure reason...

Adding it back solved this issue.

Thanks for the help.
