Hello Everybody.
I am working on a project (Using Sketchup to design paper models).I was able to write a small excel spreadsheet that will perform some 3D coordinates transformations to unroll surface. What I have so far you can see at: [url]sketchup-p-p.blogger.com[/url]
But maybe it would be possible to do it all in Sketchup.
Unfortunately learning Ruby at this time is not an option, so I am looking for someone that is willing to help.
IDEA: Automatically unroll selected faces starting with picked face

Our example consist of 6 faces, faces 1 and 2, 3 and 4, 5 and 6 are coplanar to each other.
Step 1 – Select faces to unroll (Basic selection)
Step 2 – Select first face

Step3 - Select all faces from Basic Selection that coplanar are to the first face.(Coplanar selection)

Step 4 – Select one face adjacent to Coplanar Selection

Step 5 - Rotate Coplanar Selection to the same plane as adjacent face

Step 6 – Like step 3 select all coplanar faces

Step7 – like step 4 Select one adjacent face

Step 8 - like step 5 rotate to same plane as adjacent face

Repeat until all faces from basic selection are coplanar.

Anyone interested to share programming skills?
