I have a sheet metal spiral and need to get it flattened. Can you help me? Is it possible to flatten?

Could you create the part using the flex command?

Yes but you need to use a different method to model it (check following videos) or use surface flatten tool (you need to have SW premium version).

Thank you for your messages! I have never done Flex and don't know if I can make it.

Lofted Bends might be an option, but need to play a bit with it. Not sure if it works for many round helix thoug.

Yes, Lofted bend looks working!
