@Pendelf please upgrade to the Wb to version 0.2.63 so we're both using the same version during my testing, some unrelated bugs were fixed.

I'll do some investigation using 0.2.63 but this specific procedure isn't something that I've had to do in real life work so it might take some time.

I wanted to do something like this. It’s not all 90-degree bends, plus there are slots on these bends. Basically, I got it all but a unfold

the unfold property is not useful in this case. if you want to unfold the model, just select any flat surface and click the unfold toolbar button. image

Pendelf commented 1 year ago

yeah, that’s what I was doing. I use the unfold property when make a sketch on a face. When a model is finished for unfold i use unfold toolbar button

shaise commented 1 year ago

The unfold property only works if there are only fold actions for the model. If you add other actions such as cutting holes, the unfold property will not work.

Okay, I get it. It wouldn’t be bad if there was such a feature. You do a time unfold, you put on a sketch, you cut it out, and then you bend it back, and then you do a laser unfold at the end
