Attached is a rolled cylinder with different diameters. We use to seam weld all 3 components but now the cylinders are all spun rolled and then seam welded to make on complete part. The problem is I can get solid works to flatten the pattern. Please Help!

Thanks

First, it won't flatten because it's not a sheet metal part. I would suggest creating it as a lofted sheet metal part.
Actually, the first thing you might want to do is check out the help files on sheet metal parts.
