Making a cone sheetmetal part??

[prooney]

I've searched other threads on this subject and found one that was useful but I've tried doing it the way that TheTick had outlined in thread 559-199521. I create a revolve of my cone and only revolved it 358 degrees but when I go to insert bends I keep getting an error.

Can anyone help me out. Thanks.

What is the error?

Are you selecting a straight edge when prompted?

Why not just do a lofted bend?

I found my problem the bend radius i was using was incorrect.

Give me the dunce cap and set me in the corner!!

Thanks for the reply CorBlimeyLimey.

Because the precision of unfolding a lofted bend is not as good.

Well, in my defense, he didn't say anything about precision...
