Yes that is the one..
So how is it done and how would it be done if the pentagon was not twisted?
Tnx1

Here is my wrap around. I used the cplane picking each surface of the shape. then draw a line across it matching the plane as I went around the shape. then I cut into the shape with the lines.

Hi Matadem,
re:

The first step is to approximate the shape with planar faces. I drew in a diagonal line and then selected 3 lines at a time using Construct > Planar to build 2 planar triangles in place of each face:
Then select your object and use Transform > Orient to place it on one of the triangles.
Select it and run Edit > Trim and cut it with the triangle edges:
Then select the next piece, run Transform > Rotate > Rotate Axis. Pick the rotation axis along the edge that was just used to cut. Pick first reference point on the corner of the remaining piece and pick the second point anywhere on the next triangle.
That will rotate the remaining piece around the cutting edge so that it is in that triangle's plane and then repeat with trim, rotate axis, trim, rotate axis, until you've run out of pieces.
