    • RE: Flattening a curve

      As you have unfold the inner shape make a copy of it, find the outer curve length and scale the copy to fit this length.

      NOTES:
      as SU draw segments not real curves you may have to calculate the real length by hand.
      as you want to make accurate product I would draw the shape flat then bend it.

      There is a basic "rule" here: no-one should re-share others' plugins so that's why it's not included in the zip file.

      Is there a reason to this?
      Just to know.

    • RE: Flattening a curve

      For this kind of job I use Unfold.rb.

      Make your shape without thickness and turn on hidden geometry.

    • RE: Curviloft and arcs breaking up.

      You can try Recurve plugin; select one segment right click, choose recurve in context menu, choose your option.

      Note than it built or rebuilt curves so a exploded arc will be rebuilt as a curve not an arc.

      Also, i know about the fillet feature, but is there a way to "round" a side angle? For example, if i am trying to make the sides of a mattress, i want that to be round and not at a 90 degree angle.

      Have a good day.

    • RE: I can't install the Zorro Plugin

      Paste zorro2.rb in the plugins folder, restart SU then you will find it in tools window not in plugins window.
