Solidworks convert to sheet metal cylinder.
Solidworks convert to sheet metal.
Using this tool is an all in one approach to transforming a solid body into sheet metal.
Select a face as the fixed face for the sheet metal part.
In the convert to sheet metal propertymanager you specify the fixed face and thickness of the sheet metal part the default bend radius and the edges or fillet faces on which to create bends.
The software automatically selects the edges on which rips are applied.
2 solidworks will pick the rip edges for you by process of elimination.
Set the sheet thickness and default bend radius.
Notice the three features added.

This approach will work for any solid body you have including imported bodies made in other systems.

When cleared the body is consumed by the convert to sheet metal feature.
If an edge already has a fillet applied the radius of the fillet is used as the bend radius for the new sheet metal part.
3 when all edges have been added to the two groups hit the green check.
