Alias Design Bottle Label.

[MichaelB 1]

I'm trying to take a surface that I've made in Alias Design and basically flatten it. Kind of how some of you can flatten sheetmetal is Solidworks. I'm wanting to do this so I can design a label that may wrap around a bottle for example, in whatever Adobe product I choose and be able to place the designed label on the bottle for presentation. The other reason I'm asking is so the label design can compensate for an intricate package design or features. If this would be better done Solidworks or Inventor I'll be open to suggestions.

 

Much appreciated.

Did some more looking on what to call it. Some people refer to it as "Developed Surfaces", Unroll Surfaces. Rhino refers to it as "Smash" which I can use since it's free rightnow for OSX. But wanting to know if Alias can do this natively.
