We exclusively work in sheet metal, and I've never been super impressed with KC's automated features, especially the unbend all. Gives me errors as often as not if the part has any complexity.

My workflow is to unstitch solid models into sheet bodies then thicken those sheet bodies to size right before unbending. That affords you the ability to split the part into several pieces for bending (often required).

For a box/pan, I'll unstitch the inside of the sheet metal, the "Up" bend side.

Segment it into pieces that won't merge upon thickening.

Thicken it as segments.

Unfold as segments.

Combine the segments once flat.
