    Here is the answer I got from Alexander: Yes, that’s the thing. The Sheetmetal Tool bar is not supported in this case. But there is no problem to convert the existing frame members to sheet metal parts. After that regular sheet metal functionallity should be available. May do so: - Convert the unpublished parts to a sheet metal part. - Create a flat pattern - Delete the flat pattern - Publish the part to framegenerator After that it should work.

    Hey Alexander, i have spent a some time trying to do doing what you did... (publishing an sheetmetal part to the framegenerator, so that its possible to unfold) How did you do that? im having no problems with regular features like the sweep and extrude. It seams like it should be possible to do planar sketches to but that wont work for me. when im running the addin in sheet metal mode im activating it as an custom added toolbar, is this the right way to do so? Im looking foward to hear your answer! Best regards Anders Bang - NTI CADcenter
