Jecobin Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 Hi All, Can anyone put me on the right path to form a flat shape of a surface in rhino. For example if I have a plate on the side of a hull how would I go about changing this shaped plate to a flat sheet allowing cutting its actual shape before bending. I would appreciate any help.

Jecobin Posted September 30, 2011 Author Share Posted September 30, 2011 Hi dedmin, Thanks for your reply. I checked out Unroll and found that its works on surfaces with only one curve. On surfaces with double curves it does not work. But it was worth trying and thanks for the tip. Regards, John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
