Not sure what you mean by "Development" but to make a surface simply make a sketch and click Extrude Surface under the Surface toolbars. You can use more than one sketch to make a single surface. You would have to connect the sketches but then you could make a Filled surface, etc..

You are able to do "Developments" or Flat layouts if you use the Sheet Metal functions to create your part.

I suggest you work through the SW tutorials & read the Help files to learn about the Sheet Metal capablities of SW.
