It would be nice to have that function. Just for a lot of questions.-)

I haven't tried it, but could this be done with (2) 3D sketches with a surface loft between them and then thickened? That is what I had to do to get a helix that could be flattened. Just a thought.

It would be difficult to find exact flat pattern for this functionality. Can you suggest any equation for this?

[dusan.naus.trz]

Maybe someone from Creo will know the equation? 🙂

板金功能中經常一條長條型的料帶，扭型麻花的樣式，如附件所示，目前的情況需於實體內用斷面混成繪製，無法展開板金，我想這將會是一個很棒的功能。

TRANSLATION from Google:

Sheet metal adds torsion function

In the sheet metal function, there is often a long strip of material with a twisted twist style. As shown in the attachment, the current situation needs to be mixed with cross-sections in the entity, and the sheet metal cannot be unfolded. I think this will be a great one. Features.

Yes!
