The design process for objects which feature some unfold surfaces is a specific branch of enginnering design. An unfold surface is defined as a surface which takes many forms which are dependent on, for example, a skeleton structure, the material's property etc. As an example, the membrane of an umbrella can be used. A combination of surface modelling and parametrisation makes the unfold surface design process very complex and difficult. The need for modelling of such types of elements in their various positions presents many different problems. One such problem, surface area value continuity, is described in this paper. The varying range of problems related to the design process means that in many cases elements which feature an unfold surface are skipped during the design process or are simplified. In this paper, authors make an attempt to deal with this design problem. In the paper, authors present a novel approach which is based on a distributed model where the main part of the presented model is a generative model. The use of generative modelling techniques allows for automatation of many tasks which normally must be done manually by the designer.
