Introduction Solidworks Multibody Sheet metal parts design allows to create multiple sheet metal bodies,of potentially different materials,within the same part file. Multibody sheet metal parts can consist of multiple sheet metal bodies or a combination of sheet metal and other bodies such as weldment bodies. Creating Flat pattern Drawing Views for Multiple Sheet Metal Bodies Drawing views can display entire  sheet metal or individual sheet metal multibody parts. In drawings Model view>Select bodies allows to create Flat pattern drawing view for individual Sheetmetal parts. 1.Click Model view , Browse the Sheet metal part file & Click Select Bodies 2.Select the individual Sheetmetal body graphically. 3.Click (A) Flat pattern ,Click to place on the drawing and Click OK.
