Advanced member	francis.marcoux@ipexna.com - 3/29/2022 6:12:32 PM how to flatten a cone Hello, I wonder how I can flaten a cone? I need this to create a cutting guide. Is it possible at all in KC ? Francis Marcoux IPEX Technologies Latest KC version Reply \| Quote \| Subscribe to post

Advanced member	francis.marcoux@ipexna.com - 3/31/2022 8:54:43 AM RE:how to flatten a cone I've tried Tool>Extract>Flat pattern but the end result is not correct. It looks like KC is flatening only half of the cone. Francis Marcoux IPEX Technologies Latest KC version Reply \| Quote \| Subscribe to post

As I recall the unwrapped geometry was correct but incomplete. I think I played with flipping geometry around or something to get the missing portions, then fit it all together.
