Many thanks for the reply Michael.

I'm not a great programmer and not a java programmer at all but I'm always full of ideas!

I've been considering what the future options for unfolding of surfaces within MoI might be. I would be happy with something that works much like the Ruby script does in Skoogle where you click on a face then on an adjacent face and the second face is basically rotated to be in the same plane as the first. This of course works on polygonal objects only. What I would like from Skoogle's ruby script is a bit more automation. I'd also like it to allow overlaps as sometimes I want them.

MoI has first rate polygon mesh generation (I've been relying on it heavily throughout this paper model project) but it generates these polygon meshes only as output to some other format, like .skp. Would it be possible to generate these meshes as editable geometry (straight line "curves" and flat surfaces, basically nurbs "polygons") for re-use within MoI (similar to what your obj wireframe import script allows)? If so then I'm thinking that MoI's current tools such as "rotate" could be scripted to do much the same as Skoogles ruby script.

Chances are, none of that made any sense....

I've had a look at some of the Java from the site you pointed me to (already using some of those and they are excellent). I think I could manage some simple scripts.
