First of all, the part needs to be drawn so it has faces. That can be done with contour flange.
Afterwards, you choose the inner face before pressing "Create Flat Pattern"

 

On a part that has multiple directions in which the Thickness is the sheet metal thickness, you can get multiple different unfolds. Hence you need to select the stationary reference for the flat pattern.

You can put on fillets, but you need to make sure you keep a part of the face

hence I made the fillets 3,99 instead of 4,0 in this attached screenshot

Thank you for the video has worked out and able to get the output, but still i have a query based on this video have tired out, but we are not getting flat pattern details if we work out on this option https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Mo6oEmJENg how to get the flat pattern details in the drafting

You are confusing concepts. To obtain a flat pattern, it is necessary to tear the material (even minimally).

You can go a different route and make a hold with FG. You will get the nominal length in the drawing in the BOM.

Keep in mind my approach is based on round steel bar and Kacper's is based on pipe or sheet metal to be rolled into a pipe.

Either approach can work, but of course it depends on your base material.
