unfolding for 3d printing

Hey folks,

I'm new to Grasshopper and Rhino, and I've searched and tried as much as i can, but I'm really stuck. To add insult to injuries, my finals are on modnay. Joy.

Ok, here's the problem, I have a curvy, paneled facade that I need to print flat so I can heat it and wrap it around the rest of my model. As far as I can see, there's two ways I can do this. Whichever is easier, I'd be delighted with.

Option 1:

Make it in grasshopper as a flat surface with the panels on it, then smash/unfold it in rhino and extrude it there.

Option 2:

Make the whole facade in grasshopper and somehow unfold it then.

Here's what the facade looks like:

So far, the design process was quite simple. It's just geometry box-morphed onto an surface box. Along the way I have things like the lofted surface, the surface boxes and the original geometry. The problem is that I don't know a) how to use surface morph using the domains I have for the surface box, and b) how I can get this to unroll/unfold.

What I really need is the facade unrolled flat, but still with a thickness.

Any help would be MASSIVELY appreciated.
