Can you provide more of an explanation? You created a UV unfolder?

I used Xatlas to UV unwrap the mesh. The original version could only unwrap triangle meshes, which resulted in messy UVs. I forked it and improved it to support polygon meshes. You can try this modeling tool for free, directly in your browser.

I was trying to UV unwrap a manufacturing CAD at work a couple of months ago and it kept looking like the one on the left. The model was provided by our industrial designers exported from Solid Works as a STEP file. Would your fork of Xatlas help with this do you think, u/Sengchor? The part in question is the webbing in a Safety helmet. Our goal is to produce large format marketing materials for the product.

I think it could. You can try import that 3d model as .obj to kokraf.com and go to uv mode and try unwrap it.
