progressive fold lines on sheet development

[Looz]

Hello, guys.
I wanted to ask you if in solid edge you can get progressive fold lines directly on the development design;
I'll explain better.
I would like to get the lines that you see on this image that I repeated on a discussion in the forum of solidworkson this sheet that I have in solid edge and then apply it to the design of development.
instead I get only the main lines of fold.Thank you in advance!

in the properties of the loft flap, in the second tab you find what you need. Sorry I don't have if in front and I go to memory and I don't remember the name of the card!

Hello Delki,
I tried to do what you told me, and actually come out of the fold lines that remain then even on the dxf when I go to save the development.
However when I showed the design to the operator who then will have to realize the piece told me that in reality with those lines fold it is impossible to make the piece.
in particular on the central part the lines on the inner side should definitely narrower, since the radius of the resulting circle is much smaller, instead on the design are almost parallel.Where do you think I was wrong?
Thank you in advance!

non ho capito bene questa phrase:

in particular on the central part the lines on the inner side should definitely narrower, since the radius of the resulting circle is much smaller, instead on the design are almost parallel.

must be more dense or converge more towards a point?
Let's say that if you want more dense you have to increase the number of divisions defined in the options.
can not converge towards a point, because solid edge divides in equal parts the edge "over" and "under"

I did not understand this phrase well:

Let's say that if you want more dense you have to increase the number of divisions defined in the options.
can not converge towards a point, because solid edge divides in equal parts the edge "over" and "under"

I have seen that in the menu you can adjust the number of lines, I would need to adjust the number on each side in theory.
the speech is that in reality the number of spaces on one side and on the other should be different because the resulting fold radius varies on each side.
instead here I apply the same number on both sides.

Perhaps we have to clarify the definition of "side", because I meant, looking at the development, the bards of dx and sx, maybe you mean the "ports" of sheet above and below.
you can't differentiate the number of divisions if you've made the club with one feature: Different features allow you to define different divisions, basically you should make the model in three lofts... But I see her hard.
differently you are the number of divisions, and for each save a dxf and then make the "merge" of the three.

eventually I solved by dividing the full piece into 4 and applying the fold lines on each development.
from what I understood the main error is to connect two edges with a different amount of curvatures.
In fact the first time I had connected the lower edge, which had 3 different turns, with the upper one that had only one.

by matching only one fold radius on each edge, the fold lines are definitely better than before.thanks again for the help of delki!:wink:
