I have a sheet metal part that I need to add a series of slots and holes to. Unfortunately there are quite a few that are on bends. I tried flattening the pattern and then sketching what I needed cut out, but when I fold the model the program suppresses the cuts.
Hi Kristopher,
how did you flatten the pattern? If you use the flatten toggle you will get the result you described. If you use an unfold feature, create your cuts, then use the fold feature, you will likely get a better result.
When I use the flatten toggle I get the holes, but when I unflatten it the cuts are gone
Hi Kristopher,
Roll back your model to before the cut, instead of using the flatten toggle, add an 'unfold' which should be nearby the flatten button. Roll forward, then add a 'fold' which you'll find right next to the unfold you just added.
You have to use the unfold command, cut the holes the fold it back again.
