How to Unwrap Pipes through the meandimeter?

Question:
How to Unwrap Pipes through the mean-dimeter?
Answer:
Currently there is no option to Unwrap the Pipes through the mean-dimeter, however you can
achieve that by trying the below workaround:
Example: Pipe 150x10 , perimeter=471

Export the the unwrapped view made by tekla into DXF

Calculate the perimeter when using the mean-diamter; mean-diamter=150-10=140,


mean perimeter=3.14 x 140= 440
Calculate the scale factor by mean perimeter/original perimeter=440/471=0.93
Insert that DXF file into Tekla Structures drawing and use the scale factor:
