All 3D representations of objects portrayed on a screen are created from faces. Actually triangles at the base level. With CAD, the number of faces that create a curve is typically auto generated depending on the distance from the camera. Sometimes you can dictate the number of faces that represent a curve through the UI or during export.I was using SketchUp 10 or 12 years ago and I'm about to get back in for 3D modeling planes. Seems to me I'll be constructing curves as needed by extruding circles or ellipses, so the extrusions will actually be many-faceted faces, not curves. Should have no trouble unfolding that.
This issue is finding the optimum number of faces to create the geometric shape you are trying to reproduce either using facets via score cuts, (small number) or pulling the paper off of the back and shaping the foam (large number).
