How would you model a zipper wallet?

[Anonymous]

Greetings:

Does anyone have an idea how to model a zippered wallet as shown in the picture?  I am stuck at the zippered part which will be wrapped around the wallet.

Much appreciate for your time and help.

Pattern along a path is likely the tool of choice for the zipper.

Thank you for your suggestion.  I will look into this.

Split Face and texture Appearance would be the easy way if you don't need actual geometry and don't zoom in too close.

Attach your *.f3d file here if you can't figure it out.

Sorry, I didn't get your design intent.

First I created the two zip elements and then I pattern them along one direction . And where you needed the zip to turn , I created a sketch for a path so the zip will pattern along the path .

I create a sketch and draw the two teeth

 

then I extrude them individually and apply a chamfer

 

then I Pattern the features along the Path
