A development is the flat, unfolded surface of a 3D object. It's also known as a pattern, and it can show the true size of each area of the object. When the pattern is cut, it can be folded or rolled back into the original object. An intersection is when two surfaces meet to form a line. For example, a dome fitted on a boiler is an example of an intersection, where the surface of the dome extends up to the line of intersection. Some methods of development of surfaces include: Parallel line development Radial line development Triangulation development Approximate...
