Surface Developments

Envelops
 Envelopments:
An envelopment is the process of wrapping a
label around a 3D object
Key Points

generators for constructing the partial
True development.
Generators ·Position label on partial development.

·Labelling is an essential part to identify the
different points in different views.
·Once you’ve located your points
bring them back into elevation
using your heights from the
Partial partial development.
Development ·Drop the points down to plan
Plan then join them up to give you
