Cone with crim

We manufacture a mixer drum. They are 92 inches in diameter and 280 inches long and are tapered on both ends. We manufacture the drum in sections. The coned ends had a crimp to help assembly and make a area for a fillet weld. The problem I can NOT get Solidworks (2007) to flat pattern the cone section with the crimp. Does anyone have any answer or a way I can make the flat pattern??

I have an e-drawing if interested.

I would be interested in seeing the drawing and any fix as well.

Model the part. Generate a flat pattern configuration. Cut off the things that don't unfold. Add them back when the part is flattened.
