Unfolding Sheet Metal Help

Hello...attached are two sheet metal parts that we need to unfold and make them flat for a drawing. We cannot seem to capture the reference A or reference B planes asked for by the unfold command. Any guidance / help would be appreciated. We are using Inventor 2013 Pro version.

You can't flat pattern those..

part2 is a compound curve.. inventor can only flat pattern typical "press braked" parts.. 

part3.. idk.. out of my wheel house.

Yeah I figured flat pattern would not work that is why we were trying the "unfold" command.
