Graebert demonstrates how to modify sheet metal parts directly in their flattened state using BricsCAD Mechanical’s associative unfolding capabilities. This lesson explores bidirectional associativity between 3D sheet metal models and flat patterns, so changes in either representation are automatically reflected in the other. Viewers learn to create associative unfoldings with SMUNFOLD, understand how temporary flattening documents interact with the original model, and manage simultaneous 3D and flattened views for efficient editing and documentation. Practical tips for preserving design intent and streamlining fabrication-ready outputs are included, enabling faster iteration and accurate sheet metal production workflows. Supporting faster approvals and downstream fabrication.
