[feature] refold unfolded sheet #296

It would be great if we could refold an unfolded sheet metal. This way users could unfold, make changes, and then refold.

I agree this can be a nice feature.

To add: Maybe the unfold can become a standard feature in the same tree, not a separate object.Then you could unfold, add other features (maybe a pocket) and refold (all or single bends) in the following feature. So it will stay parametric.

Yes, this is a very much desired feature, but quite hard to implement without refactoring the base algorithms sheetmetal uses. Hopefully we get there as well
