PatternMaking | Plugins | Revolver

The Revolver tool lets you create 2D gore patterns for any 3D object of revolution.

Create a side view of the finished object in PatternSmith, and take that into Revolver.  There you will be able to view the finished 3D object from any angle, and then create the flat patterns for any number of gores.

Revolver is invaluable for objects like balloons, donuts, and certain tents.
