Been working on easy ways to do this....more to come later....
Here is a sample model with results. I could have done any pattern or design just chose this because it has been asked for so many times.
This took about 2 or 3 min to do.

Actually there is a much easier way to do cylindrical models. Im not at a computer right now to show but i will try to make a video saturday if my surgery goes well on friday.

can one build a sheet metal object
unfold it
add details
then fold it back together?

Yes that's how everything in this thread was done.
I'm not sure based on your description what exactly your wanting to do but here is an SVG used with sheet metal.

Duh I overlooked it.
how does one adjust the rolling of metal into a cylinder form?

All I did was select the desert hdri image and hit render.

Yes I am incredibly interested in this functionality. Thank you for this thread, these examples are really amazing. I was certainly curious about the Sheet Metal inclusion but after seeing these examples of what it can do with creative application I am very excited to work with implementing it myself. I have been studying 2D tiling patterns for some time and have been experimenting with recreating them in three dimensions. The next step or level once this is completed is to wrap the "2.5D" pattern construction around a sphere to make it fully 3D.
For example I would love to be able to wrap or pattern this structural style geometry of the Asanoha pattern I created onto a sphere, much like the stylized flower of life pattern is wrapped around this sphere under the guard beast claw. Based on what I have seen in this thread the Sheet Metal space will make this a reality and that makes me very happy 🙂 Thanks again for the inspiration, love the Fusion community!
The current tools will not support wrapping around a sphere.

Not knowing yet the limitations of the tools could it not be created using a flattened sphere like this
Then it would be one bend to create a tube and a couple of bends to curve the tops and bottoms over.
