Flat pattern-error

I have a problem with creating flat pattern on letter B.

Its possible to flat pattern curves which are uneven lines? I mean radius which are different shape.

First i cut out the letter than i make another body in sheet metal and than combine planes. But when i try to take flat pattern its problem and give me error.

Hi @rok6EYYN

Could you please share the file here?

From what I can see, you need to split the B into multiple sheet parts, since it is impossible to create a flat pattern from a shape that overlaps in real life. The parts should be welded together in the post-process.

Here is my take on the issue you are facing, attached f3d file to this reply. Both parts have flat patterns, but please note that the sketch is not fully constrained. It is recommended that you should first make the sketches fully constrained and defined, so that there are no blue lines.
