      Hello,
      I have designed a box in 3d and I would like to make it in paper. For this I need to turn my 3D model into a 2D flat model which I can cut print, paste and assemble. Is there a way to do this automatically from the 3d model i designed on sketchup ? If not, do you know a programm that can do it ?
      Thank you for your answers.

      ps : herewith an exemple of a 3D model turned into what I call 2D flat to make it clear.
