I have a part I have designed and as I mentioned in the title I cannot get Fusion to let me convert it to sheet metal so I can create a flat pattern to have made. I get an error stating that the thickness is off and I need to edit it in the rules or move the body. I have tried editing the rules and it doesn't change anything. I am lost when it says to move the body. I am attaching the file in case someone can help figure out or explain better to me what the system is asking for.

Thank you sir! I had a vague idea of what you showed me but I was going about it all wrong. Now it makes sense as to what I was seeing and what was causing the issue after watching what you did. I greatly appreciate your help and thank you for your time.
