Unroll and roll issue

Nice to meet you all.

I have the following issue. I would like to know if anyone could help me or knows of a possible solution to this problem.

I’m trying to unfold a surface to modulate it and obtain some base points. However, when I project them onto the initial surface, they aren’t projecting correctly. I don’t know if there’s a way to re-roll the unroll surface with the initial parameters.

I guess the closest way to re-roll stuff is by using Sporph component:

Thanks, but I open the file but it doesn’t work, the component output is empty.

I’m on Version 8 SR19 (8.19.25112.13001, 2025-04-22) Windows
which Rhino version are you using?

I’m using the same version

well… I don’t really know what to say :slight_smile:

I see this:

maybe try this version where Base and Target UVs are also set, if that was the issue?

Thank you very much, now it works, it was necessary to re-parameterize the surface and the UV points of the surface.

I have a question for you, do you see that the stagged projection is correct? Or could it also be done the same way you projected the points?

if you draw a line between each point after Sporph and the Oriented points you wanted to use, those lines would represent the Vector for which each point should be moved to go from your Oriented location into their re-rolled location:

as you can see, those vectors are different from each other (by column) so I believe there’s no Project method that would reinstate those Oriented points in their correct final location

and yes, I would sporph also that, I see some small differences:

Thanks a lot for your time and the explicit answer.
