Hello,

I´m new with "Sheets" ("blech" in german). I have been trying two whole days to make a sheet with cuts that can be rolled into an octagon, like origami. I have tried with Flach. Also using a lot the tools Profil Planar and Abwickeln (my Creo is in german), but at last I can´t permorm it.

Have someone an idea how could I do what the picture shows?

It would be nice that it can be folded and unfolded.

Thanks a lot.

Sheet metal "walls" can be added to make the tabs. These will unfold easily. You can sketch the shape of the tab when adding a user defined wall or trapezoid wall.

You can create bends for the octagon. You can also begin with an extrude to make the octagon. You do not need to start with a flat part.
