Folded ribbon modeling

Hello
I try to model an electronic tablecloth, with a " wedge " folding.
It's automatic with Electrical, so it must be possible with a scanned 3D Sketch... But I can't do it! :sob:
After 5 years of Creo, I'm a bit rusty on SW...
I could play around with the twist, but it's a rough bypass crutch...

Hello
I think Electrical uses other functions and relies on routing (which for this kind of cable struggles a lot to make the folds and unfold it in the right direction).
In our country, for this kind of case, we use sheet metal functions.

Thank you Cyril!
I hadn't thought about sheet metal functions. I often model round cables, via 3D sketch spline scans, it gives control and a natural look. I'm going to try with sheet metal!

Hurrah! I can mix the 2 methods! (Sheet metal work for the fold, and the 3D Sketches for the rest!)
The possibilities are great!


Thank you Cyril!
