question , what tool can I use to bend a flat surface into a circle
the opposite of unrollsrf ?
in other words once ived unrolled it , how do i re roll it ?
Hi @urbanbeing
Depending on the case in question, Flow and FlowAlongSrf could be what you are looking for. Post a 3dm file or sketch of what you are trying to achieve, it you get stuck

so its a surface i want to roll into a circle again
FlowAlongCurve and you need a “backbone curve” for you surface to indicate how much of the circle you want to fill. If the entire circle then your new “backbone curve” needs to be as long as your surface.
Then pick the corresponding end of the two curves (first the backbone then the circle)
If the result is mirrored or something then check the direction of your circle and your “backbone curve” with the Dir command.
(And if you want a 3D surface then extrude your surface first, FlowAlongCurve handles multiple types of objects)
can i email you the 3dm file?

Hi @urbanbeing
Here’s a quick video. First thing I did was to hide the curves of the text (except for the straight line at the top indicating the width and the circle). The command to use is Flow, and make sure that Stretch=Yes is set - or scale your circle to be the EXACT same circumference as the width of the text - Stretch=Yes is the easiest way
So basically all you need is the line, the circle and your text object.
