Is there a way of elevating a curved wall in Revit so that the elevation view can be stretched out to add dimensional details on to it? Because obvioulsy just creating a standard elevation of it produces an elevation with depth rather than it being flat?

Any help please....

Not automatically, no. You would have to manually draft that type of "modified" elevation. Revit elevations are of the model exactly as it exists. You could use a typical elevation tag, then hide the ends of the wall, and redraw them with detail lines.

Are you preparing pattern drawings or some other form of shop drawing? Why the need to 'unfold' the wall? You should be able to dimension anything linear, arc lengths, opening centers etc on a plan view. Anything that requires a height can just as easily be done with the elevation that Revit produces automatically.
