I have to make a 3D model of a piece of furniture and then to have all its surfaces projected onto 2D (ie onto one plain). For instance, if I have a circular cone, I'd like to get both the lateral surface (in developed form, not just a view from one angle) and the base surface (circle) shown in one plain. I would be most grateful if someone could advise me which software to use for this purpose.
Thanks a lot!
You could use AutoCAD's "section" command.

I didn't make myself clear :-) I don't need projections of the surfaces, but their real dimensions shown in one plain, as if you have a pyramide, then you cut it with the scissors and arrange the pieces on a table. AutoCAD has no such features.
Have a look at

Rhino3d will do this with any 3d volume including spheres, and other shapes. Just google for the site address
does it cover irregular shapes too? thanks for the info ;-)
