Have you got a photo of an example?

You can use Jim's jf unfold.rb to unfold a shape you've created. Maybe that would do the trick? Click on the red Plugin Index button at the top of the screen.

Hi Dave,
thanks for your response. This picture should explain the problem....its about the growth / shrinkage in the bended material....

Dear SketchUcation community.
I m rather new to Sketch Up, especially the plug in world, however, I am familiar with the basics.

I was trying to find a functionality to be able to bend shapes. The purpose is to build a box with sheet material, respectively build a box that can then be unwrapped to get the shape that would need to be cut out of the flat material.

Hope that was not too confusing......
