hi jalokin,

Rhino can UnrollSrf and FlattenSrf. Maybe this works: extrude the curve to make a surface, UnrollSrf, DupEdge to get a flat curve.

Hello there -
FYI - rhino also offers a plug-in that makes a 2d pattern from a non-developable surface (curved in two directions)

curve to flat pattern is somewhat of a faulty concept because it depends on what plane you're projecting to. If you want to project something to a given x y or z plane, use _SetPt.

what's odd? sorry if my english is not that great.

Just to let you know it worked fine and the part has been produced and assembled with out any problems.

Thanks for the help
