You are wanting to make a flat pattern, net, development ( always forget the term development from back in school ) from a three-view orthographic? Hmm.
Long ago I made a very simple "foldit.lsp" to go from flat to formed, but not unfolding. The bend allowance is just the material thickness and it doesn't put a radius or anything on the brakes. But it was good enough for building Sheet metal cabinets with through and take holes.
I'm assuming you already know how meticulous it is to go from your three views to a flat pattern. It would be much different if you had a formed 3-D to begin with. Something for that scenario I'm pretty sure exists.
Your situation sounds like something I would like to try to sink my teeth into.
Would you mind posting an example or two of what you were dealing with?
