maybe this post should be in the pro forums, but I just used the trial version to export an already existing model.

the software:

www.tamasoft.co.jp/pepakura-en

free to use, a "license" is necessary to save.

export your models in .3ds format, import them in pepakura and do 3d model-> join adjacent isolated edges then create the paper model. I had some errors since the normals can be a bit messed up in sketchup, as the two sides of a face can be used.
