First is, will wings3d work on the whole skin of the boat? and second, how long should it take to unfold something like that? I extracted the 3d model from the tambor model and followed the procedures for unfolding it, but about 30 min later wings3d was not responding and didn't appear to make any progress in pulling the model apart. Is this to be expected, and if so, about how long whould it take for a full model to be unfolded.

Also, would it help the process to select and color (in wings3d) sperate sections of the hull so it would break the boat down into fewer parts (i.e. upper surface, pressure hull, etc..)? If this is the case, what is a good way to go about the selection process as there are something like 2300 surfaces on these models and selecting them individually would take forever.

Thanks,
Greg

Wings 3D didn't work out for me so I borrowed 3D Studio Max from work. The program kept on going into a Not Responding state.
