When your model is fully constructed, and you are about to unfold it, select the entire thing and press the Index Edges button. This marks all of the edges in your model so that later, when your model is unfolded, Flattery will know what used to be connected. This is critical for the Reunite Edges tool, and helpful for the Add Tabs tool. The Unfold tool by Jim at SketchUp Plugins Blog is a plugin that allows you to unfold 3d objects into a 2d plane. Like a kindergarten project, where you cut out the paper and fold on the lines to make a box. It works really well if you need to unfold a model to make a 3d paper mockup or for metal working. SketchUp is a premier 3D design software that truly makes 3D modeling for everyone, with a simple to learn yet robust toolset that empowers you to create whatever you can imagine.

Have you ever wanted to make your own paper art and didn't know how? Or just found the process too difficult from the get go.

Why spend all that time and effort manufacturing your model with a 3D printer knowing that it might printout with errors when you can do it cheaply and easily with paper.

With a paper design in hand for visualization, moving onto more advanced manufacturing methods would be cost- effective. So lets get started developing paper art with Google Sketchup.
