                Ok, I know that this has been requested before:
http://forum.punchcad.com/showthread.php?t=325 http://forum.punchcad.com/showthread.php?t=1868 But seems that nobody has consider this as an important feature, because seems that there is no planning to include some tool with any of this features.
I have to say that I do use Rhino, solidworks or vectorworks just for develop complex geometry as cone or cilinder or curved surface intersections, for modeling, prototyping, ..... 
A tool as flatten surfaces or smash surface as in rhino it is very usefull, 
Please consider at least an unfold surfaces feature for develop geometry. Thanks

ps, sorry about my english

                I agree, Form Z (ACIS) have the unfold, flatten surface for a long time (at least 6 years).
