On Flattening a cylindrical surface
Luke_Chase
Member Posts: 8 EDU
Is there an Onshape equivalent of SolidWorks "Insert->Surface->Flatten" command? As far as I know, the best thing to do is make a projection of the surface and then scale it to the length of the cylinder. Are there any features that people have made that can do that?
I'm trying to make a sticker template for the surfaces of this puzzle: https://cad.onshape.com/documents/c47daefdd1e88c750b0b3df7/w/e103658db8fa75f7b25a6ec6/e/0e69a7ae8d6cc04d9fb6e21f
