Hi there
I have a very thin hollow part (like paper) that was created by making a cone and then shelling it, then cutting a slit across it. Now I want to see what it looks like when I flatten it. I need this so that I can make a 2D drawinng that can be given to a fabricator so that he can make that out of a flat sheet of metal. I can't seem to do this in Solidworks 2006.
There is a feature to flatten parts but inly if they are made using sheet metal features.
Any ideas how I can do this?
Thanks for your time.
