Video shows how to create a planar bend in sheet metal environment using creo parametric. Ironically if i wanted to roll a flat sheet into a tube with a bent edge i could do that.

Therefore parts created with versions of creo elements direct sheet metal prior to 8 0 may not unfold to 2d as expected. With creo 4 now it s just as easy. I couldn t get the right options to fold the edge the way i hoped. It is not necessary to create the design in the order of manufacture.
