Parameters

Name	Type	Description
isUnfoldAllBends	boolean	When true, all bends in the sheet metal body are unfolded and bendFaces is ignored. When false, only the faces listed in bendFaces are unfolded.
bendFaces	BRepFace[]	Optional. When isUnfoldAllBends is false, the bend faces to unfold. For each bend, specify either the inner cylindrical face, the outer cylindrical face, or both; partner faces of the same bend (including side faces) are resolved automatically. Passing a cylindrical face that is not part of any bend on the body (for example a hole or a fillet face) causes this call to fail. When isUnfoldAllBends is true, this argument is ignored. The default value is null. This is an optional argument whose default value is null.
