Hey everyone! Very new to SketchUp but here we are diving head first. I am well versed in other 3d modeling software but not this one. In any case, I’m working on designing tents and I can’t seem to figure out how to go from a tent to dxf patters to cut out. I have done quite a few hours of watching videos and reading tutorials but haven’t made it much further than making my models. I have been using soapskin to make the surfaces between my splines but from there I can’t make any of the surfaces lay flat so I can use them as patterns. I tried using unwrap and flatten but it seems like I have too many triangles from the soap skin projection. Just curious if anyone has any tips or tricks to go from a tent to group of dxf files that can be cut out. I have attached my model and a couple pictures.
