Converting to sheet metal

    • Roberto

      Hello

       

      Sometimes there are problems in the sheet metal conversion, it does not create the spokes, can I send you a file for safe links?

      I will also attach a video.
      The steps are as follows
      1) I try to convert it to sheet metal but I can't create the bends
      2) I copy the outer surface and create a manual radius for each crease after which the convert is working
      Why doesn't it work in the first steps?

       

      Best Regards

      I will share with you Secure Transfer link via email. Please share the model and the video so that I can investigate this issue.

      Hello Roberto

      I was able to create the bends by clicking on the outer side. Please check the attached geometry.

      Hello Subashni

      problem that as you unfolded it to you is not good because SpaceClaim does not explain it correctly

      https://www.screencast.com/t/gSsfBmoBgK

      If possible can you remove the file from the forum?
      Thanks

      Hello Roberto

      I apologise, I have removed the model. 
      Unfold works based on the neighbouring faces. In the video, you have shown, I see that the selected face is unfolded in line with the neighbouring face, which is the expected behaviour

        Subashni Hello

        The correct method of unfolding the piece must be this, completely flat

        Best Regards

      Subashni Hello

      no problem for the file , when I use the unfolded command the component should be completely flat , otherwise the overall dimensions would be incorrect.

       

      maybe I misunderstood?
