Folded shell

Hello

I want to do a reinforcement on a pipe but I can't find the right method to unfold this patch correctly.

I create a bow with the author I want, then I use the "folded base sheet" function. I get a big curved square and then I extrude the shape I want.

The problem I have is when unfolding. He misleads me. It's at the level of extrusion but I don't know how to do otherwise for the moment

 

Have a nice day

It's up to you to create an offset surface on your piece of 

0 mm 

via the surface tool

and surface flat 

if SW 2017 version and sup

In fact I found, instead of doing an extrusion to have my outline, I make a leave at the 4 corners of my folded sheet metal to have my patch. The holidays must not join each other otherwise there will be an error in unfolding

Thank you for your help @gt22, I did what you told me, it works in a way, I have the flattening of my surface but I can't extract it in DXF to create my cutting program behind. I discovered the surface tab at least. Thank you.
