Fabrication: Ivy for a multiple parts

“

- [Instructor] I have my exercise file open already. In the last video, we looked at using Ivy to unfold a simple box. Ivy's a tool that takes meshes, let's you generate a mesh graph, and then divide the mesh graph in such a way that the mesh can be unfolded. But the example really had a whole set of mesh objects. So it would be time consuming to unroll each, one by one. So let's look at how Ivy supports unrolling multiple meshes at the same time and laying them out flat as if you were going to do fabrication. So first off, (mouse clicks) here, we're getting a single mesh from a set of meshes. So let's just plug in all of the meshes. And you can see, they're all being unfolded properly. So Ivy is handling this data tree that's being fed through the process. (mouse clicks) And we're getting all the unfolds, but the unfolds are located awkwardly. Each unfold is located where the original box is set up. So how do we lay…
