Can only convert imported closed Rhino polysurface into sheetmetal part with ripped joints, no bends

Hi everyone,

I uploaded a part today that I want to make out of sheet metal. Its a simple part and I know it can be folded (have done it in Slicer).

Not sure why I can't do any bends from an imported closed poly surface from rhino. I can convert to sheet metal but it only allows rips (see picture)

I've tried a number of things like exploding and thickening first, making sketch planes off the surface and extruding those curves.

I imported a box (solid and poly surfaces from Rhino) and had no problems.

see screenshot for reference.

Thanks
