Is it possible to unwrap & lay out 2D pattern for cardboard modelling?

How could I get a 2d unfolded pattrern of a 3D surface if I want to use it for cardboard modelling.
Is that possible in Alias or there is any plugin to do that?

Thanks for the help!

I don't think you can do this in Alias. There are several purpose built digital tools for this.

If you are just looking to fool around with it Pepakura Designer is cheap and can import a 3D model built in Alias..

A lot of professionals in the packaging industry use ArtiosCAD.
