I've searched the forum for an answer but can't figure out what exactly my issue is. The component is made of 8 sheet metal bodies. The original bends were created using the "bend" tool in the sheet metal environment. After that I made many modifications to get all the edges to align (move, offset, split body, etc...you can see in the timeline). I now would like to create a flat pattern for each of these bodies. Is this possible, or is there a change I can make to my workflow that will allow it to be possible? The specific issue I am having is that when asked to "select stationary face" in either the "flat pattern" or "unbend" tools, I am unable to make a selection.
A couple notes:
--I'm aware the edges of these bodies are not perfectly square to the faces. Is that an issue?
--I created the sheet metal body with the "convert to sheet metal" tool. I have confirmed that the thickness of the original extrusion matches the thickness of the sheet metal rule.
Would greatly appreciate any insights. Thank you!
