Since sheet metal walls attach to edges and creating a wall removes the
original edge and creates a new one, you really cannot pattern them as
the primary reference is eliminated. Creating a single wall all the way
around and creating a cut that you then pattern is the way to go.
However - you still won't be able to flatten it due to the curved bend
line. The sheet metal module was made to simulate press brake kind of
features and doesn't do well with complex metal forming.
