As others have said, you all may want to take a look at Unfold3d 10 Virtual Spaces. I have done some training for the software with Rizom Labs and I have already found it incredibly useful in a production environment. It has a couple of bugs but overall it does both a fantastic job of unfolding (comparable to Headus) and an even better job at packing.
great to have you here beefaroni... i have a question... is there a way to do groups but turn off the filling with other shells... i like to have only the selected objects in the goup box... we often have todo color zones...
We're getting a bit off-topic, (maybe we should start an Unfold3d thread?), but here are some impressions on Unfold3d.
It's an impressive piece of software but there are some things that stop me from loving it.
1. Lack of Modo bridge. I could potentially make one, but I don't have the time right now.
2. Lack of manual (or is there one and I haven't found it?). That combined with the fact that on MacOS (which I'm currently evaluating the software on), the tooltips don't seem to work makes me feel a bit lost.
3. The edge selection based on Angles is nice, but is there no way to select only hard edges? In fact it seems that the software doesn't bother itself with vertex/edge normals at all.
4. The auto orient feature sometimes messes up, which is true for all software, but I'm trying to find a way to fix them by selecting an edge that should be horizontal or vertical and have it fix the island orientation based on that, but I couldn't find a way to do it without it distorting the overall island shape.
Hello Hellfire you might have found already a solution, if not, it is possible to revert to an older version via Steam. Open your steam console via this (copy paste into your browser which then opens steam) ; steam://nav/console
paste for example this into it (downloads the most current version of ipackthat);
download_depot 363020 363021 5776872928093235865
replace the last numbers if you want a different/older version of the 15 available ones of ipackthat.

After downloading, a folder where your files is should pop up, take those files and replace the ones of the original installation folder.
I reinstalled windows 10 and now when I launch the program it doesn't open but it says that it is running. I tried running it as administrator and I tried reinstalling it to both of my hard drives. I have the program on steam. Any ideas on how to fix this?

You should put this up for sale when it's done, I'm sure plenty of artists would be willing to pay for it.
