There is no wrapping/ unwrapping function in Shapr unfortunately. You can divide the tube into pie like sections and align them in just the right way to project to a plane or face. The smaller/more pie sections the more accurate the projection.

Similar to this (there are others by searching wrap cylinder) [Accurate method to wrap a sketch to a cylinder](https://discourse.shapr3d.com/t/accurate-method-to-wrap-a-sketch-to-a-cylinder/18024)
