Unrolling a Surface Body

  1. Open the Tools tab and select the Unroll tool.
  2. Select a planar or curved face.
    • The selected face serves as the anchor for the unrolled surface. The orientation of the unroll is determined by where you click to select the anchor.
  3. (Optional) Enable Keep Bend Lines in the Options panel. If enabled, bend lines are imprinted on the Unrolled surface body.
  4. Click the Complete tool guide.
    The surface is unrolled. A body named Unrolled is added to the Structure tree.

Curved surfaces can have curvature in one or two directions.
