Hi all,
I'm new here and in Solidworks at all , so please help me.
I'm trying to create a small solidworks model of a wooden boat , which I want to make from thin wood. When I make it with Lofted boss/base future , later i cant flatten every single surface for cutting. I understand that with Lofted boss/base future i cant convert to a sheet metal. When i try directly with lofted surface I cant flatten surface also. Flatten-bends future are creating bends that i don't need.
I hope i was clear with my question , so please help me with this.
Jack.
Gianluca,
If your part is not modeled using sheet metal techniques you will not be able to flatten it. If you are using SolidWorks 2015 there is a new feature where you can do a Surface Offset of 0 & then use the new Surface Flatten command...this might give you what you are looking for.
