Hello! For learning purposes I'm currently trying to recreate an outdoor children's American Eagle playground, similar to one they have in Denmark at DOKK1 (you can look it up online).
I've created a surface model of the bird and now I have several issues. I was trying to break surfaces into even looking planks and i could not automate this process due to my lack of VBA and iLogic skills, so I decided to stick with freeform shape modeling and "bend edge" function. I was going to use "thicken" function, but when i do this i don't get individual planks. So, unfortunately, I will have to thicken faces one by one and then make them separate parts by using "create components" feature. Maybe anyone knows a better way to do this?
Also, some of my planks are twisted and I though I would be able to convert them to sheetmetal and to kind of untwist them with nesting functions or something, but it doesn't let me, giving a blank error. I wanted to make them flat and to export to dxf.
Some planks, located at the main body, look flat, but it seems like they are not. I'm wondering is there an option to extract dxf from these planks? Can you give me a hint is there and option to flatten them in freeform modeler or by using something else. Or is there a way to export to dxf strait from a surface?
I have attached an .ipt file. Thank you in advance.
