Hi,
I'm trying to draw a helical staircase with a bottom plate underneath the steps. Drawing it isn't a problem. I used a sweep with helical curve. Then I converted this part to a sheet metal. But then inventor doesn't want to unfold it. Does anyone know how I have to make a flat pattern from this one with the necessary bending lines?
Example .ipt and photo in attachment
Thanks

Here's the thread to where I had a smilar application: http://forums.autodesk.com/t5/Inventor-General/Sheet-metal-development/m-p/3798033/highlight/true#M4...
Attached is the finished part that I sent to fabrication. It's a major PITA, but they were able to build it.
