problem with converting a detail from part to sheet metal

By Sander Vislapuu on 12 Oct 19:01 2 answers 667 views 0 comments

I needed to convert this part to sheetmetal (so I could flatten it). I keep getting error telling me something about non-sheet metal faces. Maybe someone knows a way around this?

    Steps
    1 new sketch draw circle on plane for outside diameter
    2 new sketch draw circle on plane for inside diameter
    3 Draw helix using outside diameter (1 revolution or less)
    4 Draw helix using inside diameter (1 revolution or less)
    5 new 3D skech convety entities outside helix
    6 new 3D skech convety entities inside helix
    7 Sheetmetal loft between two 3D sketches

    More than one revolution in the helix will not let you flatten pattern
