Google found all sorts of links, the only ones I trust is the one above and the ones that link back here to the Autodesk Community

did you read that link before you just posted it?

there was nothing help in there at all not to be disrespectful but please be helpful

I know there is an addon there are videos of people using the command on youtube they just don't express which addon it is or how to get the tool

There were multiple lisp routines posted in the link provided.

Please provide a little more info.  eg is there a specific view you are trying to unfold?  Meaning Top View, Side View, ISO View....

The lisp are pretty routine an have limitations for sure.

There is a paid utility for sheet metal that will perform unfolding.  But again, not know what you are trying to unfold makes it tough to offer assistance.

The sheet metal unfolding tool is located at  http://www.litio3d.com.ar/eng/faqs2.htm

One more attempt.  Do you really want to unfold or would "flatshot" work for you?   3D to 2D conversion of a 3d model ran through a viewport.

Best Regards

Yes, I did read every post in the thread before I posted the link, otherwise I would not have posted it. I am sorry that none of the lisp routines you tried from the post did what you needed them to do.  I did not have time to create a dataset and test them out before posting the link and I apologize for that.

Hi,

>> I know there is an addon there are videos of people using the command on youtube

Please show 2 or 3 links that show the command in youtube-videos.

And let us know which product and version of product you have (as plugins/apps are product and version specific). You can start command _ABOUT and show us a screenshot from that dialog.
