Panel lines unrolling in Sketchup
Hello guys,
Does any one have a good method of creating and unfolding panel lines on curved surfaces (fuselage sections) in sketchup? I know that panel lines can be projected and unrolled in rhino, but in sketchup (and then pepakura) I don't know the proper way to unroll panel lines so they match up on glued model. I can draw panel lines easily in sketchup 3d model using intersect with faces command, but they cannot be unfolded in pepakura or they mess up the unfolds. |

No, this plugin is working "the hard way", like Jim's unfold tool. When you have one fuselage segment - it's still reasonable. But when this section is cut with lots of panel lines, you get multiplied number of faces which unfolding is real pain. I was looking for easier solution.

It sounds like what you want to do is apply the panel line graphic as a texture to the model surface. Then when you unfold, the lines don't cut apart your model.
