Wrap/Unwrap Curve setting option - cutline angle significance
Wrap/Unwrap Curve setting option - cutline angle significance
(OP)
Hi,
From the document explanation, I could not understand the significance of cut line angle inside wrap/unwrap curve settings. I tried to change the values from 0-360 degrees, some time curve moves its location but cannot understand the concept behind this.
Pl help me if you have any example file.
Thanks

For a better idea of what this actually means, open the attached file below and go to the expression system and edit the value of the expression named 'Cut_Line_Angle' (note that I've added two associative line segments to create a 'closed' shape representing what looks like the face of the cone having been Unwrapped). If you edit this angle expression you will see the relationship between the start and end points of the curves relative to the cone. In essence this angle parameter is controlling where the 'face' of the cone is being 'split' if it was the face, rather then just the edges, which we were unwrapping.
Anyway, I hope this helps explain what this option does.

Thanks for your detailed explanation, its great to know the option.
Please check my attached file, I used Cylinder and unwrap the curve using cut angle line 0 degree. Suppose if I change to 90 deg it will come at the middle of the cylinder but if I use 10, 20,30, 40 degrees there was no effect on the unwrap curve, am I doing anything wrong in this file?

Hope to see this function information works as per the developer.
