1. The document discusses various methods for developing surfaces of 3D objects into 2D patterns, including parallel line development, radial line development, and triangulation development.
2. Parallel line development uses parallel lines and is used for objects with parallel surfaces like prisms and cylinders. Radial line development uses lines radiating from a central point and is used for cones and pyramids.
3. Triangulation development involves subdividing ruled surfaces into triangular areas and is used for polyhedrons and single curved surfaces. Approximate development involves stretching and is used for spheres.
