Hi All,
is there anything wrong with the unfolding length in AS2020? I am trying to make a Cylinder of inner diameter 900mm and wall thickness 10mm. the correct unfolded length by calculations should be 2859mm. in AS, I got two different lengths and both are wrong.
if I use Facets per corner=24, the unfolded length comes out as 2819mm and when I use Facets per corner=25, the unfolded length jumps up to 2880mm, is there anyway to get the correct length?
please see the attached screencast

Hi,
In MT, Filter 'Expansion',
in General, 'Expansion Method for unfolding' -Pure Median Line.
Used the Folded beam command.
When unfolded, the length is 2859mm (9'-4 9/16")

If it is made of steel, I can model it and detail it.
