    You will love this one! It really does a nice job. This is still in beta but its fun to use and works well. It should allow us to easily take a set of ribs in a line and create a good skin for unfolding.

    I was thinking boat hull when I first looked at this plugin and I must say it seems to work great for that! :D All of these cool skinning style plugins still lack in one area for us trying to fold a foam skin around a set of ribs and there is nothing that I have found besides sheet metal prg that will take in account for material thickness with bend radius.
    I know its out there we just need to find it :)

    These are good tools :) . I've been using them for a few weeks now. The lofting tools were the final ones I needed to move away from SolidWorks for good. There are a few others I wish I had in su relating to new x-y plane creations but for the most part I can brute force my way through. Resizing via the dimension would be great also.
    su is getting stronger and stronger :D

    Right click on your zipped file and tell it to extract.
