I am trying to make this part in sheet metal.Is there a way to have Extrusion1 as part of the sheet metal bend.I have the shape but want to make it bend into that curve shape.I thought maybe Contour Roll but if this is the tool can someone demonstrate how to use to this part

I don't think there is a way to do that in Inventor (that will flatten).
I think the best you can do is model in finished form and create the flat development yourself - the old fashioned way.
How would you make this then in finish form.....would you use other Sheet Metal Tools to create the Curve instead of Extrusion1
I would appreciate your input/help please
I would like to get the shape with Sheet Metal Tools correct first and then try the flatten pattern the old way later on

Model with the standard modeling tools.
