      Hi Jim,

      i use your great tool to get a curvature from a terrain along a planned road. It works perfect if i unfold plane by plane manually. When i select the whole plane the result is disordered and the lenght doesn't correspond together. Do i do anything wrong or is this a bug in the Ruby?

        Karl,

        Unfold is a simple tool and never designed to automatically unfold. It was meant to assist in the process. Automatic unfolding is certainly a possibility, but more work than I wanted to do at the time I wrote the original. I hope to re-visit unfold this year with some improvements.

        Hi

              I meant to, but someone beat me to it. I have contributed code to Ryan's Glue Tab plugin, but have stopped short of incorporating it into unfold. Anyway, here it is:

                    works very nicely.
                    any chance you two will combine the code
