Sheet metal part and solid body

[rrestrepoSRP4H]

Opened a sheet metal assembly. Opened just the sheet metal part without the assembly components. The sheet metal part only opens as a solid body. How do I get to the flanges to change a fold if it only comes up as a solid body?

What is the source of the file?

Did you model as a sheet metal part?

Hi!

Probably you are opening the part in a previous version than the version which the part was created (or the last time saved ).
Ex: the part was created (or open and saved) in the Inventor 2024 and now you are trying to open it in inventor 2023... or less.

Is this the case?

originally modeled as a sheet metal part. sent to a vendor to review. Changes were made to the part and they sent it back. Now, when I open it, the part shows as a solid model. All of this was done in Inventor 2023.

[rrestrepoSRP4H]

all done in 2023 on both sides.
