How to bend/flatten an imported .step file

[nmyersPGDH9]

Dear Community, I am looking to flatten a solid body I have imported to Fusion360 from another CAD program. As I am new with Fusion360 and I am learning, can someone please advise on the steps to take how to accomplish such a task ? I have tried the flatten feature and the bend option after converting the body into sheet metal, but so far nothing seems to work.

Hi,

Converting without bending radii is not possible.

Thank you so much ! It makes total sense but for some reason I wouldn't have thought of it. I guess my brain was stuck expecting the software to "automatically" do that ... e.g. after I had sketched a line on the inside where the surfaces meet (however the result was not the intended) .
