Flat Pattern

I want to make up sides and a bottom for a boat using 1/32 plywood. It is flexible enough such that it can be twisted and glued into place. Before going too far, I however want to make up a flat pattern.

Does anyone know of a source or system to make up a twisted flat pattern for three view drawings? I am looking for a graphical approach to this, much as would come out of a high school drafting book for bending sheet metal.

I also do not want to cut up numerous pieces of paper to begin with. I have to cut up all of the basic plywood at one time on a jig-saw, so cannot go back and forth with paper patterns.
