ok so lex's emile kukri(knife) file... the sheath or pouch it goes into is all flat. its not a 3d model but the blade is... i was wondering if i just use cardboard to make the sheath and basically guess on thickness or if theres an intended way to do it

Oh, you mean that sliced part of the model. Those slices are supposed to be transferred to a thicker material (thick cardboard, wood, whatever you can think of) and cut out of that material. There are several weapons that are sliced, maybe if you have a look at those you'll see the principle more easily. The thickness of one layer is the thickness of the whole thing divided by the number of layers.
