Working with Two or More Disjoint Volumes
You can unbend a body with two or more disjoint volumes of unattached geometry. However, each piece must be unbent using a separate unbend operation. The icons in the lower right of the screen indicate whether the active part has two or more disjoint volumes of unattached sheet metal geometry. The number of pieces appears next to the icon. Click the arrow to display the list of disjoint volumes.
Keep in mind the following points when working with a model with two or more disjoint volumes of sheet metal geometry:
When two or more pieces of unattached geometry share a bent surface reference, first split the area to unbend, then perform a separate unbend operation on each piece of unattached geometry.
Only manual selection of bent geometry is available.
There is no preview of the flat pattern.
