can't create flat of a mirrored sheetmetal part

I'm in WF3, m160. I have a sheetmetal part created using File > Mirror Part
> Include all feature Data >, so my part has a full model tree. However, at
the bottom of the model tree is the Mirrored Merge feature. The issue is I
cannot flatten this part. I can delete the features that were in the source
part, but which I don't need here. However, I cannot flatten it. Can't
unbend, can't use Flatten tool. Nothing. Any ideas for how to get this to
work without re-modeling the part?



Thanks.

Then there must be some feature that is not playing nicely with the mirror.
I just tested this in WF4. Parts attached. It worked fine. I don't have
wf3 loaded to test.

Thanks to Ron. His comment "Then there must be some feature that is not
playing nicely with the mirror." Got me thinking. The original part had
an unbend/add a cut/bend back sequence. Once I deleted that from the
original before mirroring, the new part unbends just fine.
