3D flat pattern

Menu access : Sheet metal | Other operations | 3D flat pattern

Description :

Allows you to make operations on the theoretical 3D flat pattern of the sheet metal.

General philosophy :

  1. Choose the updating mode (manual or automatic) .

  2. You have the possibility to choose the creation layer of the unfolded shape (in order to isolate it easily).

  3. Select the reference face.

Specific point(s) :

This function works on all the sheet metal part, it's better to work on a bend using the new unbending and rebending functions (see also Sheet metal | Bend types | Bend unbending or Sheet metal | Bend types | Bend rebending).

Then you can work on the unfolded shape (in inside dimension).

This function does not manage the crunched and rolled parts.
