Hello,
For a customer i need to make some flat-patterns of step files. The most parts is not a problem, but these two are a pain in the ass!
One is a round cone (ø508 with 12mm height difference), and the other one is a chain box. With the convert to sheetmetal function i cannot get a proper flat pattern with the right reliefs. Both files you can find in the attachment. There is a bit hurry with these products!
Many thanks,
John
The second piece you need to put splits in it as well, make multiple bodies, then flatten your formed bodies once they're turned into sheet metal. Are you familiar with these functions?
Thanks for the quick comment!
No i'm not fimiliar with those functions, could you please explane them to me?
Thanks
I have split that cover with the handles into multiple bodies. It's hard to explain unless you use it or shown by somebody in person. I would suggest doing a turtorial as a guide. I saved the cover into a new zip file. If you PM me I can send it via email.
You have got PM
You need to put a splice or seam in that cone and then convert to sheet metal using an edge. That should flatten then. I'll look at the other one next.
