The Unattended Unfold command unfolds a sheet metal object.
If the parent body of a selected planar face has been subject to unfolding before, this tool will skip the menu in the task panel. Otherwise it will show an error message asking for either "set a Manual K-factor" or "use a Material Definition Sheet".
With the first use of the Unfold command the parent body's label received a suffix (such as _material_0.5din) and after that it is ready to be use with this tool.
- Select one planar face of a sheet metal part.
- Activate the UnattendedUnfold command using one of the following:
- The Unattended Unfold button.
- The SheetMetal → Unattended Unfold menu option.
- The keyboard shortcut: U

A SheetMetal Unfold object is derived from a Part Feature object and inherits all its properties. It has no additional properties, but its label has a default value:
{{Properties_Title|Base}}
- Label|String: Default value: The user editable name of this object, it may be any arbitrary UTF8 string.
See Unfold for limitations.
