I am making a curved ceiling out of segments (kind of like a parametric ceiling). I've created my desired flows from NURBS curves, and then the made a surface out of them with the loft function. I made the segments by just extruding and subtracting the pieces I wanted removed from that surface. Now the problem arises; I want to have the loose "segments" I created of the ceiling displayed next to each other, so I can eventually get them laser cut. What I need for this is the curve of each individual segment as a line/polyline and a straight line as a ceiling. I tried to ungroup the object but it just returns to the loft and the volume is subtracted from it to create the segments.
Any clue how to fix this? Do I need to create the segments some other way?

Dear all,
I've run into a problem and I am at my wits end.

Thanks in advance
