  5. For a more complex example, start with a Rectangle, filleted using the Fillet tool.
  6. Create a cone from this polyline, using the Specify 2D Base option.
  7. Create some cylinders and use 3D Subtract to remove them from the cone.
  8. Activate Unfold Face and click the cone.
  9. Select Finish. If you move or delete the cone, you can see the unfolded face clearly
