Sheet Metal Part won't Unfold or make Correct Flat Pattern

I'm modelling some sheet metal covers for a cable tray and want to unfold/flatten the model to get the blank size needed to cut the sheet metal. The flat pattern does not work and it just creates the same model without flattening. The fold/unfold commands do not work either and won't let me proceed.
