Sheet Metal - Unfold not working

Post by goCADps »

Hey everyone,

I am new to this form and need help on sheet metal unfolding.
With all sheet-metal parts I have the same problem (e.g. part attached).
It gives the feedback that "unfold is failing; try to select a different face..."

In the Log it shows the following error:
22:54:21 exception at line 3346("'Part.Feature' object has no attribute 'Refine'",)
22:54:21 ("'Part.Feature' object has no attribute 'Refine'",)

Does anyone know, how to solve this issue.

Thanks and best regards!

It's highly likely that it will be fixed in the next couple of days when https://github.com/shaise/FreeCAD_SheetMetal/pull/270 gets merged as long as shaise hasn't gone on holiday!!

Edit: If you need to get the Unfold working asap, you can replace the existing %APPDATA%\FreeCAD\Mod\Sheetmetal\SheetMetalUnfolder.py file with the one attached below.

maybe a bad choice: only keep Bend active, select a face and it works

Sheetmetal Wb has been upgraded to 0.2.63, hopefully that'll sort 95% of the unfolding issues.
