Creating a 2d cutting plan from a simple 3d model

[jsavage]

Hi all,
My first attempt at a model with Clara.io is a simple curved surface that could be flattened.

Unfortunately the preview does not show quite the same as I see in the editor. Nevertheless, having got this far, I am starting to get the hang of the tool but have three questions:

1. Is there a way of flattening this shape out? (To create a cutting plan for a physical model)

2. How could I assign real world dimensions to this model?

Thanks all,

James

Hi,

You can use the slice/cut operator, please check this video https://clara.io/learn/tutorials/modeling-videos.
In clara, the unit is meter in real world.

Thanks
