Hello,
I've been trying to lay out curved surfaces from a Fusion360 model using the Unwrap tool on meshmixer. I'm aiming to get flat, printable plans from a Fusion model.
The process (as I've gathered):
1. Model in Fusion
2. Export bodies to .stl
3. Open in Meshmixer
4. Unwrap and export as .svg
5. Open in Fusion/Inkscape and voila, flat plans
The problem:
- When I reopen the .svg file in Inkscape or Fusion, I find that somehow the scaling for the plan has been changed. I swapped from using inches to mm in Fusion, and that got the parts a LOT closer to what the actual size should be, but it is still slightly off.
Has anyone seen these issues before? Does anyone have a fix? I'm using the most recent versions of Fusion/Meshmixer/Inkscape.
Thanks in advance.
