Tutorial that explains how to include unfolded geometry in a powercopy.
The tutorial also shows how to use local and global parameters.

- is a digital sketchbook devoted to parametric and digital modeling, BIM, and the creation and description of complex form. Issues of craft, materiality, and technology were always present when I was growing up, making these values tangible long before I became an architect. Before I could drive a car, I had learned how to operate a boom crane and use computer-controlled equipment. To this day I make no distinction between the computer and the crane, both extensions of my body, both amplify my dexterity.
As an architect and educator, I use the computer to investigate issues related to fabrication and construction. As VP of Design and Creative Director at Blu Homes the links between design and manufacturing were always present. As principal of PLY Architecture we tested professional limits through technology. At the University of Michigan I teach design, robotics, innovation and coordinate the Masters of Science in Digital Technologies. Parametric thinking has led to my recent interests in biology, evolution, business, and robotics - all of which require an intense understanding of relationships.

Again, Thank you so much, really helpfull!!!
hey karl. interesting example. you can simplify powercopies by not using any sketch geometry and only using wireframe geometry to make the wireframe. then you wouldn't have to specify anything relative to the axis system.
i like positioning the unfolded surfs using a pattern too. good idea in case the pieces get large and you need to adjust the spacing. keep 'em coming!
Hey Karl, I was wondering if you knew a way to assign text to power copies/ label the build geometry so that subsequent power copies have ascending and unique number values projected on or near their unrolled surface. My problem is a lot of the elements in our current design might look roughly similar once unrolled and would create headaches come assembly time unless i take the additional step of bringing them into rhino and projecting labels one by one.
Thanks for any info,
Tim
