If i do it in two halfs they will flatten

The upper left corner of your screenshot shows that the file is an assembly. Are you trying to flatten in a part or assembly file?

wot i have done is drawn a sketch in the middle then direction 1 up to a surface, direction to 2 up to a surface.
the surfaces are planes, which are different plane to each other. if i do them separate halfs they will both flatten. but seems long way round when it would be nice if it did it one piece.

Can you post the part for review?

Can you try using a Unfold feature and check if it works fine?
