Sheet metal unfold/refold reference

The dialog box displayed during either the Unfold and Refold workflow differs only in the labeling of the functions as either Unfold or Refold. This reference covers both dialog boxes. The dialog box contains three selection sections, a contextual illustration, and a set of commands along the bottom.

Access:
	On the ribbon, click Sheet Metal tab Modify panel Unfold or click Sheet Metal tab Modify panel Refold

Unfold or Refold Reference (A)
	Use this selection command to choose the face or reference plane that to use to define the reference to which bends or rolls are unfolded or refolded. This reference is labeled A in the illustration to the right on the dialog box. When entering the workflow, this command is active by default.

Unfold or Refold Geometry (B)
	Use this selection command to select individual bend or roll features to unfold or refold. Geometry that can be selected using this command is labeled B in the illustration to the right on the dialog box. This command is disabled until a reference is selected.
	Use this selection command to select all bend or roll features to unfold or refold. Geometry that can be selected using this command is labeled B in the illustration to the right on the dialog box. This command is disabled until a reference is selected.

Sketches (C)
	Use this selection command to select unconsumed sketches to unfold or refold. Sketch geometry that can be selected using this command is labeled C in the illustration to the right on the dialog box. This command is disabled until unfold or refold geometry is selected.
	Parent is visible - When sketches are unfolded, a copy of the sketch is created and displayed on the flattened face. The original sketch (or parent) remains in the folded position. Check this option to see both the original (folded position) sketch as well as the unfolded copy of the sketch.
