I am making a part which transitions from a 172mm X 140mm rectangle to a 152.4mm diameter arc. The part will connect the outlet of a large blower housing to a 6" duct. I created the part by utilizing a blended protrusion, then converted to sheetmetal by shelling. I can model the part just fine.....the problem lies in the fact that i can not seem to be able to get the part to unbend. I've tried the "blend vertex" feature, but to no avail. This seems to be a relatively common issue within sheetmetal. Does anyone have any insight into this issue? Perhaps an alternate way to model the part so that it will unbend? Thanks.
