Unfolding a sheet metal as a railing for a spiral staircase with removal of material to obtain the "volutes"

Attached is the sheet metal and the beginning of a sketch for the volutes... with SW 2016

Thank you

And do you keep the volutes in volume without the sheet metal?

Or simply drill the location of the volutes in the sheet metal?

like that

or this

Do you project the "volute" curves on the sheet metal?

No, I work on the unfolded sheet metal, create the removal of material, repetition and fold the part

look at the creation tree it will give you some leads to follow

Hello

I'm getting back to you, I don't see the creation tree on the image, can you send me the file?

I'm under SW 2016

 

The problem is the file is in 2017

so he's not going to be that useful to you

On the unfold you made you finish your sketch neatly and you make a cut via elevation of material

then you fold it up that's it for the first photo

Show me where you are

Hello GT22

I can't find the cutting function with material removal, just extrusion material removal and I can't fold anymore... aarrfff

So I finished the sketch on the unfolded is it "good"?

Thank you

yes it's the material elevation tool

You need to take the fold tool and click on List all the folds

you can post your file please thank you
