Flattening half pipe

Hello Everyone,

I have been spending a few hours now trying to Flatten this part on the 2017 Standard Version. I do not have a premium version and can therefore not use the flattening command. When trying to use insert Bend and selecting on of the the bottom edges it always displays: "Cannot select this type of edge. I do not really understand why this happens. The plan is to flatten the part and export it as a DXF so I can make a cutting Jig for it.

Can somebody help me out?

Thanks
