hello i am trying to take all the sheet metal parts i have in my design and make them into a 2d pattern DXF to cut out on a plasma table but seem to be over complicating it and would like to know if i can even do that as a group or what is the most efficient way to do it. i have tried create flat pattern but seem to be doing it wrong. i have attached a image of the project for reference. thank you for your time.

Hello Mr. Whisperer,

OK I have your file. Are you simply plasma cutting flat parts or will you be using a brake press to bend?

going to plasma cut everything that is flat and weld it all together. bout the only things I'm not cutting on the plasma are the legs, exhaust stack and lifting arms.
