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

It might be faster to start again, however you CAN convert a "regular" part to a "sheet metal" part which as discussed CAN be flattened. You would need to have modeled your box such that it could be flattened (so again, it might be easier to start again). You might want to look at making the box using the sheet metal features. Start with a flat "face" the size of your bottom and then add "flanges" for the sides (not sure how you were planning to do the top).
