How do you unfold this piece?

I am stuck in unfolding this part: there is always an unfolding that does not work.

I wanted to keep a base set up, then insert the folds into it. I want to avoid starting from a turntable and adding folds on edges: I find this solution in a hurry, nothing follows.

How would you do it?

@Bart, I have high hopes for you;)

I'm on SW13. So those on SW14, images please:)

by inserting cuts in the right places you can't make a unfold

enlarging the cuts at the corners can be

What if you made your piece flat and then folded

Hello

You have to use the [Ununfolded] button in the Sheet Metal bar, I have put you a pdf file attached so that you can see, when it is deactivated the part and folded and when these activated it unfolds

I hope I was able to help :)

Lol =)

 

I'll finish something, and I'll take care of your case;)

a 0.5mm sheet metal? with a radius of 4mm?

 

What are your constraints? And your material and your tools?

Well I looked a little between 2-3 shots, I don't have too much time there.

 

But all I can tell you is that this is not the right way to work.

 

If you tell me exactly what you want to get and configure, I can direct you to the best track =)

Hello

By simply converting it to sheet metal it works.

You don't have to make the cuts before, the function convert to sheet metal will do it itself.

See image.

Here is the file in 2012

( the odds are far-fetched but the principle is there

Gt22, I don't think it'll be fine...

 

Folded is really not beautiful:p

@gt22, that's precisely what I want to avoid! :)

@Bart, thickness 0.5mm, minimum radius, 304 L, Tools, no idea: problem of the subcontractor! ;)

@Bart and @Coyote, I put the cutouts so that you can visualize what I was expecting to get.

@Coyote: Arfh! "I love the conversion to sheet metal! To recapture the thickness, I find it rubs. I hate to have 2 times the odds on the same file! But hey, I'm going to make up my mind, it gives exactly what I want!

It looks like this!

You then have to rework the corners if necessary.

I didn't play with the mini rays, I just have to optimize to see up to which radius it blocks

@ Bart you're not nice to me

you have the files with odds as I said very wacky it's up to you to play 

To know the limits of the log

but the part is made and folds and unfolds so for me positive result ;-))

Yes, that's @gt22, as @coyote proposed. Now, a small detail: with the conversion to sheet metal, can't we have less play between 2 folded edges? Now, I have 0.7mm!

Sorry coyote, but at home it doesn't react the same, I don't know why.

So  I withdraw what I said. It's very beautiful what you did =)

I don't like to go through the conversion to sheet metal.

 

But that's the best way in this case. On the other hand, if you have to make a configurable part, it's better to avoid going through conversion.

The game changes in function.

Concerning the thickness you just have to put an equation to relation to the thickness of the hull and as it will have been configured.

Yes, in function, but in 3D, it doesn't go down! :/

Adjustment to 0.2mm, and diagonally, I have 0.7mm.

If you want to bring corners closer together, use the closed corners feature

by playing with the odds of the intervales and notching

Reduction of the angle cuts as well as the direction of the angle cuts

We need to refine, it's true that the visual plays a lot via the odds

my piece is 80/100
