How to unroll Ladybug sun hours analysis mesh into a flat layout?

Hello,

I’m using Ladybug in Grasshopper to run a Direct Sun Hours analysis on a building. I want to unfold the resulting colored mesh into a flat 2D layout for visualization. My goal is to unroll each building face (walls) into 2D, keep the sun hours color gradient intact, and arrange them side by side. If possible, I would also like to display sun hour values on each face.
The program version I used is as follows:

  • Rhino 8
  • Grasshopper
  • Ladybug 1.8.0

If anyone knows a method, plugin, or workflow to achieve this, I would really appreciate your help. Thank you!
