Re: [Sailcut-users] Sailcut program - dimension change

[Simon B. <sim...@gm...>]

Some time ago, I was looking for surface area estimates (to better evaluate
fabric surface used) and ended up exporting the image in 3D and importing
it in FreeCAD software. I asked for help on the user forum and within a few
hours someone wrote a Python script to measure the surface.  Works very
well and it`s free.
