Hi All,
Is it possible to create a flat pattern of a helical swept sheet metal having thickness 1.
Model has been created only in sheetmetal and helical sweep was created.
So now how am I to create flat pattern out of it.
Thank you all in advance.
Regards,
Venkatram.

I don't think you can. Much like form features, they are not calculated because there is no bend involved.
However, I have worked with flattening a quilt to get a very good pattern for such features.
This would not be done in sheetmetal.
This is a part that is curved in two directions. This also does not flatten in sheetmetal. Some careful consideration for where to place the quilt and I am certain this is a very close flat pattern of the part (the blue colored surface).
