Do you know, that… ?

Developing area is one of the many surface and hybrid modeling tools. It is mainly used as an auxiliary surface in the design of forming cavities, moldings and other elements.

This is noteworthy, that planes can be the reference of the direction (e.g. mold opening), flat walls or axes.

Another interesting application is reference to the coordinate system. Of course, it's all about the global 3D layout of the parts, where by entering the appropriate values ​​of x,Y,z you can get a developed surface. You can also use negative values ​​to change the return, and values ​​other than 1.

For example, by entering a value for the X axis 1, and for the Z axis a value 3 – the program will expand the area in relation to 1/3 (i.e. at an angle of ~ 18.4 ° / 71.6 °).
