I've got a solid... I have to cover it with sheet metal and get the developments.

I covered it with thickening... but then what do I do? I can't get rid of the initial solid and only get thickening. . .

In the meantime, make connections on all edges of your piece with radius=thickness, or thickness*2 depending on whether the fittings you are adding will be the internal or external part of the sheet.
then "stappa" the solid, that is to remove one or more faces depending on what will be your development (you can not have a sheet cube with the development of 6 sides, you can do it with the paper, but the sheet how do you bend it?). apart from my disrespects now you have a part of only surfaces, at this point apply "experience" to the contiguous faces (including the faces of the fittings) you want to create of sheet metal.
When you've done all this, you'll realize that to have development, it gets more complicated, but then it comes to this step, then we'll talk about it. . .
