Is it possible in Ac to unfold surfaces of more complicated 3d object (i.e. cone) onto the floor plan, to be able to measure it? Or is there any Add on that lets us do it ?

in other words:

I just want to draw a quite big wardrobe (making a 3d model) with lots of different sized shelves. But eventually I'd like to have each element on the floor plan to measure it and then send the drawing to the carpentry. I thought unfold option could do the trick but maybe You have any other ideas?


thanks

Sorry, my mistake.
I just didn't know the 'look to perpendicular' option.
It's clear now. However it would be nice to have a 'one click' option and then have all these objects Ejrolon showed on the floor plan..

Anyway, thanks for help guys.
