I am making an archway with a compound curve and want to flatten out the surface to prepare for CnC.
At it's widest point, the very top, the arch is 1' 5.8" thick. I convert the model into a NURBS curve. I select the inner surface and when unfolded, the widest part is now 1' 6.01" thick. The bottoms of the arch remain correct, but it seems that it gains .02" from the start to the middle of the surface.
Is there a trick to unfolding that I'm not aware of? I've attached a file that has the model and the unfolded surface.

Hello,
I am making an archway with a compound curve and want to flatten out the surface to prepare for CnC.
At it's widest point, the very top, the arch is 1' 5.8" thick. I convert the model into a NURBS curve. I select the inner surface and when unfolded, the widest part is now 1' 6.01" thick. The bottoms of the arch remain correct, but it seems that it gains .02" from the start to the middle of the surface.
Is there a trick to unfolding that I'm not aware of? I've attached a file that has the model and the unfolded surface.
