Hello,

I’m making a sign that has large block letters out of 11g steel. They are approx 18” tall and 6” thick. Here are the steps I have so far…

  1. Create a sketch of a letter, an E for example. 
  2. Using Extruded Boss I extrude the letter to 6” to make a solid body
  3. Convert the solid body to sheet metal (pick a surface and the bend lines).


    This all works great. I can unfold and create a flat pattern. However,
