I don't see how to do it simply

If anyone has an idea
 

Thanks in advance

Hello

You must use the convert to sheet metal function:

Hello

The "Convert to sheet metal" function only works on volume bodies. So you have to either thicken the surface.

Or use the "Flat the face" function, here is the information in the help: http://help.solidworks.com/2015/french/SolidWorks/sldworks/c_flatten_surface.htm?id=271c12f0ed5840f1b1b7a427d1365781

Kind regards.

There you go

 

You have to convert your surface area into volume. By thickening the faces or others.

 

Then afterwards, don't forget to put a large bending radius on your parts when covering sheet metal. (about 60mm bending radius depending on your tools)

By taking a closer look at your room, it would be easier to redesign it.

 

Either by making a bent sheet swept, or a twist
