Sheet metal created with the sheet metal converter (unfoldable)

Face modification

Flat pattern layout

Specific point(s):

This function is useful to modify the result that you get after converting a basic shape into a sheet metal part (sheet metal converter) without reloaded all the conversion process.

You can set the lateral faces colour with the Tools | Options - Sheet metal : design function. The colour located just before the lateral faces colour is automatically defined as forming faces colour. For example, if yellow (colour n°8) is defined for lateral faces colour, the dark orange (colour n°7) will be used for forming faces colour.
