The result may still be usable, but you will likely have to separate the faces by copying and editing. In that case, SketchUp will merge those faces. This happens when the unfolding process folds one face on top of another.
If you select “Unwrap and Flatten”, then all selected faces will be unwrapped (unfolded/unrolled) and laid on the plane chosen in the settings. Select one or more connected and ungrouped faces in your model and right-click on them to get the “Unwrap and Flatten Faces” context menu. This extension is useful for e.g. producing fabric or sheet-metal templates, laser-cutting templates, as CNC-prep, for texturing, etc. Projects a set of faces to one of the three main planes by smashing all faces flat.

in combination with a manual unfold tool or to make sure faces are perfectly horizontal.
Unwraps non-coplanar faces (any shape objects, shells etc.) using an automatic (randomized) algorithm and then lays the resulting set of faces flat on the ground.This extension allows the user to do three things: Unwraps shapes and places their faces flat on the ground Flattening a shell in segments Description
