pdrake Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 is there a tool to unfold or unwrap a cone? Quote Link to comment
Kevin McAllister Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 You need to convert a copy of your cone to NURBS. Then you can use Model>3D Power Pack>Unfold Surfaces. Kevin Quote Link to comment
pdrake Posted August 27, 2014 Author Share Posted August 27, 2014 ha! that's easy! it's already nurbs. thanks so much! Quote Link to comment
Elite Exhibits Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 I have never understood the Model>3D Power Pack>Unfold Surfaces. With simple geometric shapes, it is easy to create the equivalent 2D geometry without it (a cone for example). With complexity Unfold Surfaces makes this useless splattering of shapes, that one then needs to reassemble. Any logical examples available? ? Peter Quote Link to comment
