I have an elliptical piece of sheet metal. To that ellipse I need to add a flange. The flange angle needs to vary by about 5 degrees as it sweeps around the ellipse.
I can model this, however I cannot flatten or unbend it.
I tried doing a constant angle flange using the flange command and that unbends fine.
I'm guessing that it isn't working because the variable flange angle was constructed by conventional means and not a sheet metal command.
Is there a way to create a variable angle flange using one of the sheet metal tools?
Thanks,
Glenn
