Hi bro / pro,
I am designing a RCPlane. However got stuck at flattening Skin. Please help
I have tried Flattery but it seems that the result is not at my expect. Is there any other way to make the skin become flat for cuttingwingskin.skp (412.7 KB)
Thanks
I am not sure what you mean?
Do you want to take this wing and make internal support structures for cutting from wood/foam?
I think you are on the right track, you can use the intersect tool thats what I did when I made a plane using SketchUp for cutting.
This was part of my SketchUp model showing inside the wing.
This was after cutting
Liam, I think you’ll find he wants to make a template of the skin so he can cut it out of fabric or some sort of semi-flexible material.
Ahhh I see, ok!
Yes well if that’s the case, in terms of the model above. I took my measurement’s from SketchUp and I re-drew them out in Illustrator.
However maybe this plugin would be helpful for you: Extension | SketchUp Extension Warehouse
It would create a net from the wing section for cutting (from fabric).
Hi,
Sorry for my English but Box is saying what I mean
I want to make a template of the skin. My material to make the skin is depron. Is there any extension better than Flattery?
Not sure sorry. When I made mine I just stretched out the fabric by hand over the wing ribs, marked it and cut it to size myself.
