Searched all around but I cant find any tutorials or anything. So my question is simple, how do i make a net of an excisiting 3D model in google sketchup? Thanks for your help!

Not quite understanding what you need.

You wanna take an existing model and make a net out of it?

If that's what you want then simply change the texture to a .png net texture.

Use the Paint bucket tool There are a couple of pre-loaded, semi-transparent png images under the "Fancing" library but you can also use your own textures.
