      Hi, I'm new here. I like to "fold" a 2d model to a 3d cone. Is there a plugin where I can select the folding lines and the two outer lines which need to be connected so that a cone is created of the 2d model. See picture of the 2d model. Blue lines are the folding lines. The 2 red lines need to be connected.

        You could do that with the native move tool. I'm not aware of any extensions that would automatically fold that into a 3D shape. If I were doing it, I would just model it as 3D based on the dimensions taken from the flat one.

        The exact method depends on the version of SketchUp you have. Your profile says you have 2018 Make but there never was a 2018 Make. Please update your profile with the correct version.

          Thx for your quick reply Dave. I found an unfolding plugin for paper craft models. I'm looking for a folding plugin to fold the models.
