Tenon and mortise on a curve

image
Hello everyone, I have another question. I am currently on the sheet metal function and I can't seem to insert mortise posts on a curve. Do you have a solution for me? because I would like to avoid creating a sketch by integrating tenons.

Hello,

It seems that this is not possible for curved faces. When hovering over the field, the tiptext indicates to select a flat face.

hello @Silver_Surfer

Yes and especially since when making mortise tenons there are stories of shrinkage that are not managed by SW and the flattening I ask to see.

:wink:

I had checked on an old version of SW and CATIA with a boilermaker.
Indeed, there is a difference with the actual development of the sheet metal and the 3D model.
Attention must be paid to the direction of the face chosen when converting a volume into sheet metal. The face chosen determines the direction of unfolding.
