Detailed Description

This class will provide the solution to unwrap 3D non-planar, curved geometry to a 2D plane.

The transformation mapping of unwrapping non-planar faces to a plane can be used bi-directional. Unwrapping geometry and wrapping geometry from a plane to the 3D shape.

To create a new instance of this class, use NXOpen.Features.FreeformSurfaceCollection.CreateFlatteningAndFormingBuilderEx

Enumerator

Calculation

This option faces to be flattened will be used to calculate the mapping.

The mapping can also be applied to additional transformation objects.

Reuse

This option uses a transformation maping of an existing flattening feature to reapply it in its original or reversed direction to additional transformation objects.
