How to remove bend on a STEP file?
Just a preface, I have zero knowledge about this topic, still watching basic tutorials. I was a given a STEP file but to have it fabricated, I need it to be flat. The places here locally wont accept the STEP file somehow so I have to remove the bend to flatten it. Any videos you can point me to to watch?

STEP files don't have the history of operations so you can only add and remove material from them. There are no tools to bend existing parts so you may have to remodel that.

Here are some attachments. I will try to add the STEP file too. I tried the sheet metal -> unbend but it gives me error.
