Creat a new sheet metal from a surface to cut separately

[lrsjr]

Hi everyone.
It's should be simple but i couldn't realize how to create a new sheet metal from a surface (see the image below) i'd like to break apart every surface to a new sheet, i'll cut all sheets and assemble them as a lowpoly wall (see example bellow)

Hi Mr Mather
I already tried but on the Derived box, i can't select any object,
i'd like that you see the file please

@lrsjr 

can you please clarify a bit more? the file you have attached has nothing to do with the image you shared above.

are you trying to create an individual sheet metal part on each of those facets?

the 3D Sketch and the assembly you sent above are not helpful, or maybe I am missing something.

Best,

Ali

Look at the topic -"complex 3d geometrical form - guidance"

couldn't find anything, can you provide a link? I have a good idea as to how you can do this, top down multi solid bodies could be a solution, but I cant be sure until I get more clarity about the issue.

Shure, i just realize that i upload a old version with no surfaces, in this new document, you can see some surfaces, i'd like to make each surface independent, as a new sheet metal part.
Its only a example file, not the final file

Start a New Part file for each unique component.

Manage tab> Derive and select the master.  Derive as Surface body.

Thicken

Convert to sheet metal.

Hi

What version of Inventor are you using? In some versions it is possible to derive a components from the surface body.

And if you want to create solids, use the Thicken tool. This way you will create solids that can be exported. Just remember to fix the overlapping corners.

Thanks Mr Mather, it's work perfectly, its exactly i was looking for

Thanks Kacper, it's a little bit easier with a plus, the seam angle is very important in this case as i will connect it together
