unrolling a pipe model into a flat drw

[bells3]

hello,
i have been looking everywhere for the answer to this question, hopefully someone here knows the answer...

i have a model that is a pipe. the pipe has blocks on the inner diameter with different spacing. the spacing of the blocks are measured by arc length of the inner diameter (not angle).

the way i would like to represent this model in a drawing is by "unrolling" the pipe so that is shown as a flat surface. imagine making a cut on one side of the pipe and unrolling it so that it is flat on the paper.

hopefully i explained this clearly.

thank you!!!!

I PICTURE OF THE MODEL WOULD HAVE BEEN A GREAT HELP.


DOES YOUR PIPE, BUILD WITH SHEETMETAL MODULE?


AS FAR AS I KNOW YOU CAN RIP THE PIPE AND MAKE IT FLAT ONLY IN SHEETMETAL.

Thank you for your response.

I did not use the sheetmetal module to make the pipe.

here is a screenshot of the model:
