Loft to flat pattern

[pbare101]

Hi forgive me if this has been asked before. I have a conicalish loft that I would like to convert to a flat pattern for sheet metal. How do i go about this? I've made the loft in both solid and surface as I suspect I might need a surface model but am stuck from there.

Thanks

Cannot do Lofted Flange in current release of Fusion 360.

You would need Autodesk Inventor Professional for this (or approximate with Unwrap in Autodesk MeshMixer).

Lofted Flange is in development in Fusion.  I'm not sure when it will be released, but last time I checked, it was pretty near completion.
