Hi all
I very rarely do sheet metal work, but usually I always manage to get by! But here I'm stuck on something very simple.
I made a sheet metal piece but I can't manage its unfolded in the drawing.
If I do a drawing of the "default" configuration, the unfolded one doesn't work.
I added an "unfolded" config (which speaks for itself! but even there I have two folds that don't unfold.
Anyway I bug and I'm coming to your help! That's where I'm wrong?!!

Open your room, go to the configurations and activate the flat pattern line by double-clicking on it.
Once activated, click on unfolded and then return to your default configuration.
Save and logically on your drawing you will be able to see your unfolded state.
This is a common mistake. You open your flat pattern config and fold it up, so it saves in folded.

On the other hand, I look at your part, I think that the sheet metal parameters are not correct, Thickness, bend radius and K factor
Good luck!

Yes! thank you Bart!
Indeed it was very simple.
For the moment it's a draft of the play, there's still a lot of work to do;)
Thank you
