Did you get any help from another source with this post? I have exactly the same problem, and suspect that it involves defining an area of deformation.
Would you like to try and work on it together?
Is this a one-opff problem or something that you will be doing regularly?
<H1>Unbending Undevelopable Surfaces</H1>
Undevelopable (deformed) surfaces, like wall features with complex curved surfaces, typically must be unbent for manufacture.
To unbend the deformed material the unbend must be simple. The defining rule is that all surfaces to be unbent must either have an outside edge or be adjacent to an area that has an outside edge. The outside edge or adjacent area serves as a way for the deformation to escape and the material to stretch.
Developed length is not calculated for unbent deform areas. Note: If your unbend fails and you receive an error message citing undevelopable regions, try one of the following:
