RE:KC and sheet metal
As a side, this works very well with imprint curves. You can draw lines directly on the sheet body, imprint, then unstitch to separate. Allows you to quickly create complex sheet metal shapes without a bunch of boolean operations.

If a sheet metal part is complex, thicken it to the neutral line (K Factor), and unfold it as a sheet body. Sometimes it's more effective.

Last resort is to thicken to neutral line and "Extract Flat Pattern" from it.

That should cover about every scenario you may come across.
