How do I map 3D Surfaces to a 2d plan
-
Hi anyone,
I have a series of surfaces that I have sliced up and I would like to map these to an organized distributed orthagonal 'plan view' so I can get them into CAD to these profiles to a CNC machine.
I have only the knowledge to do this manually. It takes a long time and I'd love to know if there are any plugins or scripts people have made to automate this.
Attached is an example of the profiles I have in space that I want organised.
I know Rhino can do this, and I'm sure other applications can do this and even nest them. Any advice would be great.
keywords:
automate
map to 2D
flatten
send to working plane
3D to orthographic projection
3D to CNC
nest

nestDo you want the profiles moved or copied to the XY plane?
How do you want them laid out? Your model doesn't show what you want to happen.
