Using SU to make a template for a heavy paper box
-
Hi all
Once again my main problem is not knowing the vocabulary to use in a search......so I wonder if anyone has used SU to create a template/layout/"whatever it is called" for visualizing a box (or any other physical 3d shape). The end product for me is literally a small box or cube with a specially shaped lid to open and close. All made out of one piece of heavy paper. I'm trying to find software to make the template and print that out such that I can take that printed piece and fold along the lines and derive the finished box.
My first thought was that this was a task for Illustrator, but I'm coming up empty.
Is this an SU thing? If not, what does do this sort of layout?
thx
