Sheet Metal - Unfold / Fold Workflow

Hello!

 

I have a beginners question to ask. I have read a couple of posts about adding "sheet metal folding" functionality but I think the latter will not solve my problem.

 

I want to create a simple paper plane model made of about 1mm thick paper/metal. My question is, if I draw a 2D sketch with folds and everything, is it possible to lock the length of the folds so if I move/rotate one the others will change the position accordingly? I've made a simple drawing because I'm not really good at explaining stuff. 🙂

Thank you in advance for tips and tricks.

@mkocbek,

 

Thank you for your workflow question.  Sheet metal in Fusion 360 is intended to provide a solution for press brake workflows.  The paper / cardboard workflow you describe is something that I would like to explore once we have our initial workflows we intend to solve implemented.  Meaning, there is not a simple way to take your flat paper and then fold it the way your images show without a cut.

 

Regards,
