not specifically. Read my boat example again. To design a boat you need to bend the sheets of plywood to contour to a hull shape. Making these in a sheet metal part file, and then flattening them would give you approximate measurements of the sizes of plywood sheets. i hate myself for asking this question btw because im pretty sure you cant do it. My only concern is whether you can at least do it in 12, because i heard sheet metal is going to be improved substantially.
