When you create a drawing, you can automatically unfold polybeams and bent plates in single-part drawings. Tekla Structures unfolds the polybeams according to unfolding parameters, which define the location of the neutral axis when a profile is unfolded.

1. On the Drawings & reports tab, click Drawing properties > Single-part drawing .
2. Load drawing properties that are as close to the ones you need as possible.
   
3. Click View creation in the options tree and go to the Attributes tab.
4. Set Unfolded to Yes.
5. To save the changes, click Save.
   
6. Click OK and create the drawing.

   Note:

   The Unfolded setting in the View Properties properties dialog box on the Attributes 2 tab is ignored in drawing creation when you set this option on the Attributes tab of the Single-part drawing properties dialog box.
