Great How-To, I like the speed at which you move. Most video tutorials move at a snails-pace making them almost unwatchable. Quick and to the point.

@TinkerNW You could accomplish this by creating a configuration with the flex suppressed. This would give you an flat version. You could then make a drawing view and select the flat configuration.
