Re: Flatten a 3D object as a "cut list"

I think you might want to bend the box up from a flat 2D pattern, if so, you want to make your drawing as a sheet metal part and play around with the buttons until you find out how to get what you want.

If you are drawing something in the middle of the object, you can simply select, or make, a plane in the middle of the firgure, press 2D sketch, then simply press F7 to get rid of the material on top of the sketch so you can see what you're doing.

If none of those are what you mean, then can you explain what you mean by "cut list?" (maybe I just have a lack of understanding)
