Pattern shapes to create 3D? Opposite of Unroll Srf

[DanielPiker]

It’s a tricky challenge, especially if you want to also be able to handle curved developable surfaces, not just flat facets.

A couple of previous related discussions that might be helpful though:

Reverse unroll (how to make a 3d object from a flat pattern)

Hi, I’m looking for a solution to fold an existing flat triangular pattern into a 3D object. I would say I start like this: Fixate one surface of the flat pattern Hand pick two corresponding “hinge” edges until everything is completed Can anyone give me a starting clue for finding this solution? (In the Rhino file the original 3d object is visible but in reality I only have the flat pattern) Reverse unroll.3dm (2.8 MB) [Reverse UNROLL]

Does anyone know a good method to un- or reverse- develop plates? Rhino 5, Rhino 6

Hi everybody, I am curious if anyone knows a good and efficient to recompose a 3D model from 5 developed plates. While I only have the developed flat panels (single curvature, not compound), I’d like to turn them into a 3D model of the hull. Basically I have a simple developable boat hull which is made up by 5 panels (=2x bottom plate, 2x side plate, flat transom. The bottom panels joined along the keel and to the transom, the two side panels to be connected at bow, along lower panel side an…
