Curve Unwrapping

Note: The availability of Wrap functionality is license dependent.

Curve Unwrapping uses the Unwrap Wizard to unwrap curves from surfaces and solids. It unwraps, or flattens, a shape so that additional wireframe items or symbols can be added. The modified shape can then be wrapped back on to the target object.

You can unwrap the following:

Note: To rewrap the shape onto the target surface, click Surface tab > Create panel > Wrap.

To unwrap a curve:

  1. Click Wireframe tab > From Selection panel > Wrap > Unwrap to start the Unwrap Wizard.

    The Target Selection page of the Unwrap Wizard is displayed:

    • Targets selected — Select the item to unwrap.
    • Test Wrap — This displays the Chord Length Wrap Map Creation page of the wizard. It enables you to preview the results of a Chord-Length wrap on the targets before loading the triangle files.
  2. Click Next to display the Unwrap Method page of the Unwrap Wizard.
