Hi all,

I've traditionally gone through rhinoscripting to manage and
coordinate data with excel.
however, Grasshopper has been a huge help in enabling realtime
feedback with my 3dm file and parameters and outputs in excel.
I was wondering if anyone could guide me through unrolling a surface
using the scripting component( or SDK)?
I'm not very familiar with opennurbs methods...
Thanks,
shu
