    Lightbulb Unable Flatten sheet metal part from STP

    I received a few sheet metal parts from a customer in STP format. I converted them to IPT, but for some reason they will not flatten with the flatten tool. I am using Inventor 2013.

    Is this not possible or am I doing something wrong? Thanks in advance.

    Oh I resolved it! It turns out my measurement tool was set to 2 decimal places (rounded) but the actual thickness of the sheet was 4 decimal places (gauge).
