This is my first time posting, I hope I have the correct area.
I have a multi piece conical section that I need to add holes to in the flattened state.
picture a tappered wing section built with several arc and flat sections pieced together. The pattern will be wrapped around ribs.
It flattens perfectly, but when I add holes in the flat, they do not translate to the bend section. The sketch and holes turn black in the feature tree and they are suppressed.
So I tried to use unfold. It does not work for all the bends, if fact sometimes it won't collet all the bends and is very inconsistant.
It seems like I must be missing something obvious as this is not a very complicated part.
Attached is a practice part I was using to figure this out. I would appreciate any help.
