Hello guys, after receiving your help I managed to get half way to the design i wanted. Unfortunately I encountered a different problem. I managed to create the object with the pattern I want, unfortunately I can't modify the object at all. I am trying to cut the top and bottom parts on the inside to fit each other like a box. But every time I try to cut a small part on the inner part using the extrude command I get an error message: "Error: inconsistent information in vertex and coedge attributes" .
P.S. here is the link to my previous post: https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/fusion-360-design-validate/bended-pattern-is-it-possible-and-how/m-p/...
Any idea or advice?

Thank you for taking your time. I am trying to cut out from the sheet metal thickness.
It turns out that the geometry errors are caused by the coincident faces produced after the extrude after the unfold:
This extrude causes the faces to coincide on the refold. This is not handled well by Fusion today. If you edit that Extrude so that there is a gap after the refold, the Extrude cut will work:
Alternately, if you want a fully closed result, then I would recommend modeling just half of the form, and then mirroring it. That will remove this coincident geometry as well.
This is a great example of Fusion generating an error message- "inconsistent information in vertex and coedge attributes" -but no solution. Naturally, users want to know exactly how they contribute to an error that leads to dysfunction or a need to rebuild. In my case, yesterday, I confronted this error by performing a series of cuts rather than just one.
