CAD911 Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 Using Inventor 2013 I cant to add a flange to a slightly twisted sheet metal part. I created the part by lofting between two lines from a 3d sketch. Then thickened to my sheet metal default thickness. Then i coverted part to sheet metal. I can create a flat pattern. I am trying to add the flange to one of the straight edges that the loft was created from. There is no twist on this edge. I also need flanges on the twited sides but for now the straight sides will do. I also tried to unfold thinking i could add the flanges and refold but i cant unfold the twisted part. Thanks any help would be great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JD Mather Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 Attach ipt file here. Do not use standard Loft. Use the sheet metal Loft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
