To add model features on the flattened faces of a contour roll feature requires the application of two Unfold features:
- On the ribbon, click
Sheet Metal tab
Modify panel
Unfold
.
- Select a stationary reference at either end of the contour roll feature.
- Select the contour roll.
- Click Apply.
- Select a stationary reference on the now straightened section to begin the application of the second Unfold.
- Select the bends to unfold.
- Click OK.
Modeling can now continue the unrolled and unfolded model. Any features that are applied that cross bends will be deformed when two Refold features are applied to return the model to the original rolled shape.
Note: Adding an unfold feature to continue modeling differs from generating a flat pattern for fabrication. Please refer to
Unfolded vs. Flat Pattern for additional information.
