    Thanks guyz :)
    It was a good exercise in copy in an array. We tried to make it more of an oval at first but proved to be difficult in sketchup :D

    I can't believe it, but it was so crazy here that night we forgot to snap some pics of it!
    Thank you Dave for sharing your pics why we were building it helped out a lot and the kids were blown away when I told them a fellow Phlatboy was there and saw the real thing! :doubleup:

    Is that what you where after, Mark? Took me all of 90sec to do. I'm to lazy to do all the other stuff matching it. :D :D :D

    That's exactly what we were after! :doubleup:
    We had it like that at the start (by scaling) that was easy. It was 'all the other stuff ' that was the hard part, making it a circle made copying (for example a window) in an radius a snap. Where as the oval made that impossible or at the least very difficult. Give a try and place windows around that oval, its not easy
    There may be a plugin that would allow you to copy along a path and this would let us do it.

    If all you want is to have the windows for the cutout file you don't need to place the windows on the 3d model. Just unfold the outside and place the windows on the flattened part. Once one window is place the other ones are just a clinch. If you want to have the windows on the 3d model for the showing I'll look into it.

    After I've finished I noticed that I forgot the top window but you get the general idea. Took me longer than 90sec but less than 45min. :D Also, I left out the tabs and slots but they could have been added as I added the windows.

    Looks great Yoram!
    After looking at the model I am still unsure how you put the windows around the oval of the 3D model?
    Your almost there, just need the braces and tabs and slots
    Thank you
    Mark and Trish
