Webinar:

How to Create Offset Layers Splits and Plies

Composite Flat is always accurate 3D to 2D flattening . This video illustrates the second workshop out of 3 on using Composite Flat for 3D to 2D Flattening of complex double curved surfaces. This video presents Piece Creation workflow, how offset layers are construct, and the split lines creation. At the end of the video you will be able to complete the workflow of flattening curved surfaces.
