Hi Shapr3D team, will it be possible to flatten a cone in the 2D-Drawing feature? i.e. to create a pattern for a cone on CNC table (sheet metal)? Dennis

awesome. Looking forward to it.

It’s here already, you can try it in the app :slight_smile: just update to the latest version.

must have overlooked it, I’ll try it. :grinning:

hey, I can’t seem to find what I was talking about. Do you have some documentation? This is what I mean: [flatten_cone]

Oh, you mean sheet metal. No, we don’t have yet a sheet metal feature.

would be nice to have. I would think it would be sufficient to find the feature in the 2D drawings. lay out a 3D object flat. Sheet metal, plastic sheet, plywood anything that you can cut on a table really.

Agreed! Also useful for projects like cosplay designs, or other foam projects

Please, add it! For me, it seems the single, important thing that is missing. Thanks!
