Flatten to 2d but keep its surface area
-
Morning
How do i flatten a domed shape to 2d but keep its area?
I have enclosed a rough shape.
The reason is to be able to model a shape then flatten it so i can send it to a vinyl cutter which then cuts the correct dimensions.
Cheers

Once again your knowledge seems to have saved the day. Early tests on unfold seem to work, will post if successful.
Thanks again.

Going to post this question here as it on the same subject.
So 3d scanned a panel ready to unfold but currently the mesh is to complicated to unfold.
Tried terrain reshaper but it does not seem to change.
Trying to achieve a more consistent mesh which is not to time consuming to unfold.
.skp is 8mb so put a share on dropbox

Multiple cookie or bottle of Scotch donation is someone can help!!
