Create an unfolded view of a bent plate in a steel assembly

Create a family table or an instance so that you can bring the second model into the drawing.

One instance will be the folded and one instance will be the unfolded.

In the family table, in the column that you have the feature for unbend, one will be Y and the other N.

In my table I have three lengths - then the flat pattern, the open ends (folded), with end - closed.

Hope this helps.
