      Back when I was in vocational drafting school during my high school days, we did several classes on surface and package developments, where you take a cone, or box, or a circular truncated shape and develop the shape or lay it out in such away that it could be cut out and then folded up. Does SketchUp have a plugin for doing something like this?

      Full speed ahead!
