I have a model that looks like half of a pipe, but isn't perfectly round and gets larger as the length increases. I have attached a picture of it, and I am focusing just on the pipe section, not the outside caps. I was wondering if there is a feature that will allow me to flatten it out so that I would be able to measure the length accross the curved surface? The way they build the model is by cutting a flat piece of plastice and rolling it up to form the curve. It might would be easier to just measure the inside curve at a few locations and them sketch it out using the spline feature. Any advice would be appreciated.
You can use "Intersection Curve" Place planes where you want to get measurements and follow the help file to create the curves, then measure the curves for your lengths.
