I don't know if you're taking wish-list items for Facade, but one feature I would like, would be the ability to "unfold" or "flatten" all or part of the 3D model for plotting and assembling into a cardboard model. Its great to be able to take a model into 3DS or to create a walkthru, but there's nothing like a real model to convey the real form. I've been looking for something like this for months. There was such a package back in R10 days, called "ACAD Makette", but its no longer available. If one is going to take the time to create a 3D CAD model, it would be great to use that to cut down on the time-consuming model building process. It seems as though many of the tools for this are already in Facade.
