Cool, that fixed it. Also it probably helped to delete the old 'SheetMetal' folder from the mod folder, just keeping the newer 'sheetmetal'.

Does the weirdest thing and unfolds the folded model removing the pockets.

But once I make the holes in that 90 degrees bent surface I can't unfold any more. Try the last upload I made. When you go one step backward it unfo...

So there is another unfold issue. I need to make some pockets in the shape. It works ok for the pocket 'screwholes' I can unfold that, but when adding the pockets 'jacks' unfolding is broken again. I tried to put the sketch on either side, but that doesn't matter. Why is the former okay, and the lat...

Ah, it finally worked. Thanks for hanging in with me.

I think I did it exactly like this, but my unfold fails. Could you tell my why?
