rsl Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 The image below is an unrolled surface of a hexagon tube. Why do the sides overlap? I don't mind if they overlap a little bit, but sometimes it can be pretty bad and obvious.. How do I avoid this? Thank you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JD Mather Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 Can you zip and attach the original file rather than a picture? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SEANT Posted April 22, 2011 Share Posted April 22, 2011 Some of your surfaces have a twist to them so, even though they are ruled surfaces, they are not necessarily developable. If you relax the tolerance setting (Tools-Options-Document Properties-Units) to 0.2 millimeters the edges match up and the resulting area is still very close to the original. _LowTol.zip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
