show sheet metal part part way through the bend order?

I am trying to show a sheet metal part in all its states as you work through the bend order. This is to make sure it does not clash with out tooling. Is this possible? Thank you for reading.

I don't think there is an automatic way to do it so you'll have to do it manually.
How? I think I would take the flat pattern and rebuilt the bends one after the other using the new Bend feature so then you'll have the bending order.
You can use a "move face" (rotate using the cylindrical face of the bend) to change a bend angle (although it might not be happy with setting it to zero), if you have "closed corners" you may need to "finish" the sheet metal part first.
