Seam in a cylinder

kortekaasmark · ‎04-28-2012

I have made a sheet metal cylinder with a rip. I am trying to create a seam on this rip as is done in http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gazPCkD8jrQ about half way through.

I have tried to go through the same steps, but I can not select the inside of the rip to built hems and flanges on. I also tried to make the cylinder by sketching 350 degrees of the cylinder instead of creating a rip, This had the same problem.

Does anybody know why I can't select these edges or how I can work around it?
