I’d calculate the length of the curve and create a line with the same length. The example curve looks like 2D but you can apply this method to a 3D curve as well
Hi @KRISHNA5
ExtractSrf with Copy=Yes on either all the outside or inside surfaces (depending on which side you are looking to flatten), Join them and use UnrollSrf with Explode=No to get the flat version. OffsetSrf the result to add the desired material thickness. UnrollSrf only works if the geometry is single curvature. For double curvature look at Smash or Squish.

Hi @KRISHNA5
The file posted here is NOT the file shown on the screen grabs. The STP has a lot of details, including channels through the entire part and indentations on the inside. This requires a different approach, using Flow - see attached video, where I’m using the center line as the base line. Depending on what material this is supposed to be manufactured from, that base line will change. Also, please post 3dm files instead of Stp.

Hi Jacob,
Thank you so much for your help.
Will do for sure in future.
