Is there any way to show sheet metal parts a "bend at at time"

Hey kind folks - Not even sure how to describe this but I have a sheet metal part that involved a pretty fair number of flanges.  I'd like to design a series of progressive dies to help me form this part in multiple steps.  Is there any way to take a completed flat pattern and show what state the part would be in a bend-at-a-time? 

I can't simply roll the model back because lots of the features are missing until the part is completed.  At that point I'd like to be able to "supress" or resume individual bends in the order I would like to form the part over multiple operations. Any way to do this in Onshape?
