Is there a way to turn a 3d model into flat/ plan view? See attached for example.

Hi Shamrock, sorry no there isn't any function in MoI for doing that.
You'll need to import your model into a different CAD program for that, there are several that have sheet metal design tools. Maybe try Fusion 360 or Alibre.

HI
With simple parts, you can unfold manualy !
take a look on the next pictures.
( the "bend loss" will depend on the bending tools )
