Unbend Helical Surface

I doubt you will be able to do it. I had problems unbending much simpler features which were converted from solid to sheet metal. The only conversions that worked were the ones done with simple revolves or extrudes. Blend, sweep, helical sweep etc are converted to sheet metal, but as I understand it they are interpreted as operations that deform the material rather than bendto take the required shape.


Sorry for the bad news. If anybody else knows different, please share the knowledge with us.
