Question:
How should I set the unfold_corner_ratios.inp file that I get the right circumference for the circular plate created from chamfering a squared plate? Now I get the length of the internal circumference, not the external one.
Answer:
It is common to assume that one row will control, say, all plates with profile "PL*". However, you need to create a separate row for curved plates. See attached picture. In this row, you need to change one of the fields to "2" to indicate a curved member, and also input min. and max. radius for curvature.
