Holy cow! Your model looks good in Sketch up textured. But when I looking in Rhino, that's a tons of redesigning to make it works for paper model. Looking at your CG structure, I have to ask why you designed the hull like that? It didn't make sense to me. It is almost like you intentionally designed your CG model to make it difficult to unfold for poper modeling. Can you tell me your thinking behind that design please.

Goodduck, I think, after downloading the model myself, this is a model that wasn't designed to be a paper model. It looks like this was a model from the warehouse that they want to convert over.

I wish them luck, there''s a lot of work involved to make it usable.

I did not design it. We are all working together..... Once you separate the main hull and components into individual parts, it will not be all that hard, plus I think I came up with a work around.
