    Hello Fatdog welcome to the Phlatforum! :D

    Here's a glue tab plugin over at the github that may help.

    http://github.com/rschenk/Sketchup-Glue-Tab-Plugin/


    Click on any "bounding edge" in Sketchup to add a glue tab!

    What is a "bounding edge"? It's the edge of a face that does not touch any other faces. In Sketchup, "bounding edges" are the edges that are displayed in a bold stroke.

    It sounds complicated, but it's really quite simple: A bounding edge is the only place where it makes sense to put a glue tab on an unfolded paper craft model.

    Use this script in conjunction with the Unfold Tool and you've got yourself the ghetto manual version of Waybe, completely for free!!
