It seems like the sheet metal finish model feature has not shut down the sheet metal mode. Must be missing something here.
Thanks guys

After SM finish the part behaves as a solid part. Up to that the flat pattern will show. Things can be inserted ahead of finish if you need to.
No need to use finish on your SM parts. Try out the form tool included with SM now.
Save some steps by using one sketch to extrude vertical holes toward the end. Etc.
Draw half sheet metal part then mirror/add second half.
I noticed your document wasn't up to date for new functionality like form tool. Toss it in the trash then recover from trash. Next time opened it will ask abut updating. Say yes and wait a few seconds for update to complete. Then you'll have the form tool,
The variable studio lets you set material in on location and reuse the variable even in the form tool.
Hope this sample helps
