The sheet metal design package is designed to work with bent parts, not rolled ones.

There are other tools to unroll a part. Most involve the neutral axis, since the rolling process on that shape does not really stretch or compress the material the way a bending process does.

I was able to flatten from conversion and built in Sheetmetal.  Unbend also worked.

There is always more to learn.
