I originally drew this in Solidworks but am unable to use the sheet metal tools they have available because of the type of geometry. It is essentially the underneath of a spiral staircase. I am going to wrap panels to the bottom side and need to flatten the pattern. I understand what is happening to the geometry and the challenges from a design standpoint. The physical forces at work make it difficult to install as well but certainly not impossible. Will BobCad handle this or does anyone here have the software needed to flatten this for me?
Thanks, Forrest
PS. I do not need the little leg on the bottom end, only the spiral part.
