Convert step to sheet metal inventor.
I know as a shelled box we ve got a model with a consistent thickness.
The autodesk inventor software provides functionality that simplifies the creation editing and documentation of digital prototypes of sheet metal components a sheet metal part is often thought of as a part fabricated from a sheet of uniformly thick material.
This video shows how to use an imported step file in autodesk inventor as the basis for a sheet metal flat pattern.

After converting to a sheet metal part can you convert the the sheet metal file back to the regular part underneath the sheet metal defaults command there is a drop down menu that allow you to access the convert to standard part command.
However in autodesk inventor you can utilize the sheet metal commands on any.
1 create a part with only 1 solid body flat pattern requirement 2 convert imported solids into inventor objects 3 set the sheet metal thickness to match the part steps.
