Emboss and sheet metal

[SpokenEarth]

Hey, i have a solid part which consists an extrusion and emboss.
Im trying to isolate the emboss and make a sheet metal out of it...any help?

Thanks in advance

I think there are many possible solutions, here I show you a possible way. You could derive the geometry in a new part to do it.The most important condition in sheet metal to obtain the flatpattern would be to have a uniform thickness, the second could be to maintain some regularity in the edges of the geometry (this to apply certain features that otherwise it would not be possible to add them). Notice that I have combined the solids to maintain a single solid, and in this way to be able to make the flat pattern.

Hope this helps, or can give you an idea on how to tackle your problem. Greetings

Extrude surface body.

Wrap circles as 3D sketch.

Split surface body.

Thicken as sheet metal Thickness.

Hi! On the other duplicate thread you had posted, I have provided a simpler workflow. This is a bug. To avoid the issue, use Split command and XY plane to split the faces. Then the flat pattern can be created.

Many thanks!
