Flatten a room?

[StaticDOS]

Howdy gents, is there anyway to flatten out the sides of a room e.g when you look at the plan you see the floor and the walls flattened down aswell like if you got a shoe box and cut the corners and flattened them out, ive tried the unfold surfaces command but that doesn't work on the walls, any ideas?

Hmmm was hoping it wouldnt have to come to that

Use Viewports and Section Viewports and create a sheet layer with a plan viewport in the middle and sections viewports showing the elevation of respective walls, rotated as needed.

Hi Jeffrey, thanks thats what ive been doing in the past, was hoping there was a quicker way of doing it but alas.

Model it as a solid object - Extract surfaces - Unfold

But I would also like any changes to update in the viewports which doesn't leave me with many options.
