    Just wondering how such a thing could be done, can't think of anything
    other than a macro to change the bend angle from full to flat and grab
    still images in between rebuilds.

    Sounds cumbersome....

    Using SolidWorks Animator:

    1. create configs suppressing one (or mulitple) bends at a time (use design
    table for quickness)

    2. Activate all configs one at a time to load into memory

    3. start animator's "screen capture" feature.

    4. activate the configs one at a time to illustrate folding process.

    5. stop screen capture and enjoy ;)
