surface flattening

hello

Active CAD practitioner
I would like to ask whether flattening surfaces is supported in analysis situs? For example, convert a cylinder to a rectangular plane. thank you

This algorithm is not currently exposed in open source, we only have it in the commercial SDK for sheet metal recognition and unfolding. But probably unrolling a single face can be open sourced, I have to think about it. What is your use case?
