Treatment of a surface stitching

3D Design Sheet Metal / Machine Welded
1

Hello

This morning I am looking at a possibility to translate from my surface model to obtain a flattening and therefore the possibility of having an appropriate DXF.
I started by putting two sketches per arc of a circle on 359° to allow the use of the flat functions of the surface mode.
I got the expected result but... If I want to have my two presses with an opening, the Restrict Surface function doesn't work.
From my point of view, I will obtain two pieces of sheet metal with a face-to-face opening of the taps.

Thank you for bringing me a technique to consider in my approach, cordially.

Hello

For me; Why not use the sheet metal module which is dedicated to this type of part?

I would even say that it is essential to go through this sheet metal module, the surface remains a very random method.

Hello Thank you for the advice, originally I wanted to be able to manage the thicknesses by setting the model, but I'm going to play it safe ...
