For any with Illustrator, there's an extension from Hot Door called, CADTools. Among other things, it will determine the length of curved surfaces. Expensive but I can't live without it for its many capabilities.
This probably does not help you, though, Abbe.

Hi All, I'm kind of new to this and need some help. I am trying to make a straight piece so I can put it around a circle (like how a drum would look)- can you tell me how I should mathematically measure this please? Anyone know? I remember that it's a formula of some sort- just forgot what it was. Thanks ahead of time. Also, I am creating a hand our of paper and it's not going to well I am having problems determining how to measure for some of the fingers? Anyone have any suggestions? Hope someone will have some very good advice for me here. Thanks so much! abbe --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Papermodels II" group.
