      Hi All,

      I'm not new to sketchup, but not very experienced either.
      I want to design a set of silver rings with both 2 names on it in 3D

      I thought of starting with a rectangle size of the unfolded ring.
      Then put 3D text on it.
      Then 'fold' it to a ring

      Can you guys tell me how to do the 'folding' ? Is there a suitable plugin for that ?
      I want the ring, and the text to have all rounded edges, so then once designed I can have it printed by a 3D printer in silver.

      Any suggestions ?

      your help is very much appreciated.

      best regards to all

      Chris
